Method

  1. Heat the oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6. Line six 10cm x 2cm loose-bottomed tartlet tins with the pastry, trim any excess and chill.
  2. To make the frangipane, beat the butter, sugar and zest until creamy. Add the eggs one by one with a spoonful of the ground almonds. Mix in the remaining ground almonds and flour, spread lemon curd over the tart bases and spoon the frangipane on top. Scatter over the flaked almonds, sit on a baking tray and bake for 25-30 minutes or until the sponge is golden and puffed. Remove from the tins and serve warm dusted with icing sugar and cream if you like.

    Has anyone made this as a large tart? I was wondering what size tart pan and how long I would need to cook it for. Any ideas?

    I would imagine the mixture would fit in a 8" loose bottomed flan tin and you would probably have to keep an eye on it until it turned golden and set. I made these as a dinner party pudding and was a bit nervous having not tried them before but i followed the recipe and they were perfect. I would use homemade curd next time just to make them even more special

    I made these for a dinner party and they were terrific and so easy, I will certainly add them to my 'must cook desserts'. Next time I will serve with ice cream, delicious.
