Frangipani Flan (Tart) image

This is a recipe I got from a neighbor when we were living in England. It's like a marzipan and sooo easy.

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 tablespoon(s) of jam - any choice: apricot, raspberry, marmelade are good
2 ounce(s) butter, softened
2 ounce(s) fine (caster) sugar
1 - large egg
2 ounce(s) ground almonds (i grind mine in processor)
2 teaspoon(s) pure almond essence
1/2 ounce(s) self rising flour
ICING
8 ounce(s) confectioners' sugar
5-6 teaspoon(s) hot water

Steps:

  • Make a pastry case (or use store-bought) to line a 7 inch removable bottom tart pan and place the pastry in the tart pan.
  • Spread the jam on the uncooked pastry case. Sometimes I add a tad more jam if it looks skimpy. You need a very thin layer, however.
  • Cream the butter and sugar in a small bowl.
  • Beat in the egg, then,
  • Stir in the ground almonds, almond essence and flour.
  • Transfer filling mixture to the tart case, spreading evenly.
  • Bake in the center of a 325 degree oven for about 30 minutes.
  • Place on rack to cool; remove ring and frost with the icing.
  • Sprinkle sliced or slivered almonds on icing for garnish
