I made this as a Gluten Free and Almond Free tart having discovered too late that my ground almonds were 3 years out of date!

I used the Gluten Free pastry recipe from this site with the addition of an egg yolk, a little less water and 10% Gram flour.

The non-Almond filling was made by replacing the ground almonds with 45g gram flour and
Approximately 1 tsp Almond Extract.

I used white bread flour with 1 tsp baking powder instead of the SF flour.

This produced quite a soft spreadable mix, almost like a thick pouring consistency.

I left the tart in the oven to cool down as the filling wasn't quite set after 40 mins.
I later iced the top with quite thick plain white icing.

My other half said it was the best Bakewell he has ever had and considering his love of these tarts that was praise indeed!

Plus for once I could bake my tart and eat it too......

Excellent - I made this using the gluten free flour. It is particularly quick as there is no blind baking of the case. I used cherry jam and iced it on top instead of the flaked almonds: I have also made it as individual tarts which keep a little longer. Delicious recipeand very little mess involved - always a bonus.
