Method

  1. Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Roll out the pastry on a lightly floured surface and stamp out 12 circles with an 8-9cm cutter. Use to line the holes of a bun tin. Chill while you make the filling.
  2. To make the filling, beat together the butter, caster sugar, egg, ground almonds and flour. Divide the filling between the tarts, pushing in the blackberries as you go. Scatter over the flaked almonds and bake for 15-20 mins until lightly golden.
  3. Remove from the tins and serve warm or cool, with a dollop of clotted cream if you're feeling indulgent.

    These are really good. I used a block of shortcrust pastry from the supermarket and found that I got 24 mini tarts out of the recipe. Fun to make after a morning blackberry picking. Definitely recommend!

    Really quick to make and love them! So do husband and sons... Next time I'll try lmcc's tip of thin pastry, I used 12 hole muffin tin and could probably get 18 instead of 12. Would need more filling though, because I used all filling for 12 cases.

    Have made these and they're easy and quick. For a healthier option it's also possible to leave the butter out of the filling and still have them turn out great.

    Yummy! Keep the pastry thin. Used shop bought pastry got loads of little cakes. Also used homegrown raspberries which were better than the blackberries.

    Yum! So quick & easy. My mixture was really thick, I'm new to baking so didn't know if this was right. They turned out really well though and even tastier next day! I might try adding little bit of jam between pastry and aping next time to make sweeter.
