Equipment

Ingredients
 
 

  • 320 g ready-rolled shortcrust pastry
  • 130 g unsalted butter softened
  • 120 g caster sugar
  • 1 teaspoon almond extract optional
  • 2 large eggs
  • 150 g ground almonds almond flour
  • 180 g mincemeat
  • 30 g flaked almonds
  • icing sugar to dust

Instructions
 

  • Take the shortcrust out of the fridge 15-20 minutes before rolling it out to bring it to room temperature, otherwise, it may crack as you unroll it.
  • Preheat the oven to 180° C. Grease tart tin with a little butter.
  • Unroll the pastry, and roll it out a little so that it is wide enough to line your tart tin.
  • Line grease tart pan with the shortcrust pastry making sure to push it into the corners and fluted edges. Trim any overhanging pastry with a sharp knife to be flush with the rim of the tart tin. Then prick the pastry base with a fork and place the tart shell in the freezer for 30 minutes.
  • In the meantime, make the frangipane filling. Using a handheld electric mixer, beat the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the almond extract and one at at a time, add the eggs, and beat until well combined.
  • Finally, using a rubber spatula, fold in the almonds.
  • Spread the mincemeat in a thin layer on the bottom of the blast-chilled pastry.
  • Spoon the frangipane on top in an even layer.
  • Scatter flaked almond all over and place the bakewell tart in a preheated oven for 40 minutes.The middle should be set and the top should be golden brown.
  • Leave the tart to cool down in the tart tin before slicing. Dust with icing sugar and serve.
