Ingredients
Scale
- 250g (2 cups) all-purpose flour
- 125g (1/2 cup) unsalted butter, softened
- 50g (1/4 cup) granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- A pinch of salt
- 2–3 tablespoons cold water (as needed)
- 200g (about 3/4 cup) raspberry jam
- 150g (1 1/2 cups) ground almonds
- 125g (1/2 cup) unsalted butter, softened
- 150g (3/4 cup) granulated sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon almond extract
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- A handful of flaked almonds for topping
Instructions
- Prepare the pastry by mixing flour, salt, butter, and sugar, then adding egg and cold water. Chill for 30 minutes.
- Roll out dough, press into tart pan, prick with fork, and chill for 15 minutes. Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C).
- Blind bake the pastry for 15 minutes with parchment paper and baking beans, then bake for an additional 5 minutes after removing paper.
- Make the frangipane by creaming butter and sugar, adding eggs one at a time, then folding in almond extract, ground almonds, flour, and a pinch of salt.
- Spread raspberry jam onto baked pastry, pour frangipane filling over it, and sprinkle with flaked almonds. Bake for 25-30 minutes until golden.
- Let the tart cool in the pan, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Dust with powdered sugar before serving.
Notes
- For a gluten-free version, substitute all-purpose flour with gluten-free flour.
- If you’re allergic to almonds, replace almond extract with vanilla extract and use a nut-free alternative for the filling.
- For a different flavor, try using strawberry or apricot jam in place of raspberry.
