Method

Bakewell tart

1.In a food processor, pulse flour, butter and sugar until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs. Add yolk and water, then pulse to a dough.

2.Knead dough gently. Shape into a flat disc, wrap in cling film and chill for 1 hour.

3.Preheat oven to moderate, 180°C. Grease a 24cm shallow flan pan.

4.Roll pastry out between 2 sheets of baking paper until 3mm thick. Ease pastry into pan, trimming edges. Blind bake for 10 minutes. Remove paper and filling, then bake for a further 10 minutes. Cool.

5.Spread jam over pastry and top with frangipane mix. Bake for 30-35 minutes until just firm.

6.Scatter with almonds. Bake for a further 5 minutes until nuts are lightly toasted. Cool completely in pan. Dust with icing sugar and serve with cream or ice cream, if desired.

7.Using an electric mixer, beat butter and sugar together until creamy. Add egg and yolk, one at a time, beating well. Beat in zest and fold in almond meal.
