Almond and Raspberry Bakewell Tart Hello baking fans! This recipe is my all time favorite tart! Being a huge almond fan, I just love the combination of the soft ground almonds and the crispy flaked almonds on top. This is definitely a wonderful tart to try at home! Ingredients: Short crust pastry -175 g plain flour -75g unsalted butter or hard margarine -2-3 tbsp cold water Filling -1 tbsp Raspberry jam (Or your favorite flavor) -125g unsalted butter or margarine -125g caster sugar -125g ground almonds -1 egg -1/2 tsp almond extract -50g flaked almonds Method: 1. Prepare the short crust pastry: Cut the butter into pieces, sift the flour and combine both. Rub in the butter with your fingertips until you get a mixture that resembles fine breadcrumbs. Add the water slowly and mix until you get a soft dough.  2. Roll out the dough in a lightly floured surface and line a 20 cm cake tin. Refrigerate for 30 mins. 3. Preheat the oven to 200C/400F. Line the pastry
