Bakewell Tart

This is a quick and easy recipe on how to make Bakewell Tart that tastes amazing!!!

You Will Need:

300g Shortcrust Pastry

1tbsp Raspberry Jam

125g Caster Sugar

125g Butter

125g Ground Almonds

1 Egg

1 tsp Almond Extract

Icing Sugar + Water

 Roll out the pastry on a lightly floured surface and place into a greased cake tin or flan tin and leave to firm in fridge.

Take it out of the fridge after 10 minutes and place some silver foil with beans on, onto the pastry to stop the pastry rising when cooked.

 Place in the oven for 15 minutes at 180c.

 Remove the silver foil and beans and place back in the oven for an extra 5 minutes.

 Once removed from the oven spread the base of the pastry with the raspberry jam (You don't need to wait for the pastry to be cool).

 Gently melt the butter in a pan.

Turn off the heat and stir in the sugar, then the ground almonds, egg and almond extract. Pour this into the tin.

Bake for 35 minutes at 180c. 

Make the icing using icing sugar and water and use it to decorate the top the Bakewell tart (i suggest decorating it after taking it out of the tin!).
