Authentic Bakewell Tart Recipe

Ingredients

• 0.25 pound pie crust pastry
• 7 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 3 tablespoons ground almonds
• 0.25 teaspoon baking powder
• 2 tablespoons strawberry jam
• 1 large egg
• 0.25 teaspoon lemon zest
• 0.25 cup butter
• 0.25 cup superfine sugar
• 0.5 cup sliced almonds
• 1 teaspoon confectioners' sugar

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease an 8-inch pie plate. Get all of your ingredients ready.
2. Carefully line your prepared pie plate with the shortcrust pastry, trimming any excess dough.
3. To prepare the frangipane: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, ground almonds, and baking powder. In a separate small bowl, whisk the egg and lemon zest.
4. In a mixing bowl, beat the butter and sugar with an electric mixer until the mixture is light and fluffy. Gradually add the egg mixture, beating well after each addition. Gently fold in the flour mixture, a spoonful at a time, until just combined.
5. Spread the raspberry jam evenly over the bottom of the pastry shell to create a flavorful layer.
6. Evenly spread the frangipane over the jam layer. If desired, sprinkle sliced almonds on top.
7. Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 30 minutes, or until the filling is set and golden brown.
8. Dust with confectioners' sugar immediately before serving this delicious Bakewell tart.
