  I made double the quantity of my own shortcrust pastry and turned them into 2 large flans with just the almonds, leaving out the pink icing sugar. They were for an american supper party

  I found that the amount that the franzipan recipe made would accommodate at least 2 dozen tarts. I would suggest that pastry is a richer more scrummy bake when 1/2 plain and 1/2 SR flour is used,and I prefer to leave off the icing. Overall though a lovely and well received recipe.

  Mini Bakewells? Cornish congress tarts you mean! Just need a cross of sugar icing on the top, and leave out the apricot jam.

  just made these tarts and thought "thats a lot of filling" .there was enough to fill 24 tarts! suggest you only use half the quantity of ingredients for the franzipane filling

  Fantastic recipe. I make this with the pastry from Marco Pierre White's famous Lemon Tart and it tastes even more delicious with home made pastry. http://bit.ly/9B67fK Using mini cake cases this recipe makes 72 mini tarts, which come in at under 100 calories per tart...a bite size treat that doesn't mean consuming 500 calories of sugar.

  Doesn't the pastry need to be baked blind first?

  These looked lovely but i was slightly disappointed with the flavour. Not almondy enough and i think it could have done withoutthe lemon zest and vanilla. Will make again but tweak recipe and omit the lemon and vanilla and add a few drops of almond essence instead.

  Followed this recipe to the letter - for 12 mini tarts there was about three times more frangipane than necessary - looking at other recipes you would need half the ingredients shown here.

  I really loved this recipe! Everyone who tried one of these said they were delicious. I especially loved the pink icing - although, instead of icing it only on one side, I drizzled it all over the mini tarts with a piping bag. Delicious!
