1 tablespoon plain (all-purpose) flour

1 cup (100g) ground almonds

Method

1.Sift flour and icing sugar into a large bowl; using fingertips, rub in butter until mixture is crumbly. Mix in enough of the water so that ingredients just come together (pastry can also be made using a food processor).

2.Knead dough lightly on floured surface until smooth. Enclose in plastic wrap; refrigerate 30 minutes.

3.Preheat oven to 200°C/400°F. Grease four oven trays; line with baking paper.

4.Make almond filling. Beat butter, sugar and egg in a small bowl with an electric mixer until smooth. Stir in flour and almonds.

5.Divide pastry into eight portions. Roll each portion on floured surface into a 15cm round; place two rounds on each tray.

6.Divide almond filling among rounds, leaving a 4cm border. Top with cherries; fold over border. Sprinkle with white sugar.

7.Bake tarts about 20 minutes or until pastry is browned lightly.
