Ingredients
Chocolate filling
Method
Chocolate almond tart
1.Preheat oven to 180°C. Grease a 23cm loose-based flan pan.
2.Sift flour in a large bowl. Stir in sugar. Rub in butter, using fingertips, until mixture resembles breadcrumbs.
3.Add water, egg yolk and juice. Mix to a pliable dough – mixture will cling together when it ls pressed together lightly.
4.Knead gently on a lightly floured surface. Wrap dough in plastic wrap and chill for 30 minutes to rest.
5.Roll out half the pastry between two sheets of baking paper, reserving the other halt for future use. Ease into prepared pan. Line with baking paper and fill with dried beans, rice or pasta. Blind-bake for 10-15 minutes or until golden. Remove paper and beans, then cool.
6.Pour filling mixture into cooled pastry case. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until mixture is set.
7.Cool before serving.
