Description

A delicious tart featuring a sweet almond frangipane filling and tart rhubarb, all nestled in a buttery shortcrust pastry.


Ingredients

Scale

For the Shortcrust Pastry:
175 g plain flour
75 g unsalted butter, cold and cubed
1 medium egg, whisked
1 pinch salt
12 tsp cold water, if needed
For the Filling:
200 g rhubarb, washed and sliced
150 g unsalted butter, softened
150 g caster sugar
150 g ground almonds
3 medium eggs
½ tsp almond extract
3 tbsp rhubarb & ginger jam
40 g sliced almonds


Instructions

Step 1: To make the pastry, add the flour, salt, and cold butter to a food processor and pulse until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs. Alternatively, rub the mixture together with your fingertips.
Step 2: Add the whisked egg and mix on low until the dough comes together. If it seems too dry, add cold water 1 teaspoon at a time.
Step 3: Form the dough into a ball, cover it, and chill in the fridge for 15-30 minutes.
Step 4: Preheat your oven to 170°C Fan or 190°C. Place the sliced rhubarb in a roasting tray and bake for 5 minutes to soften. Remove from the oven and drain any juices.
Step 5: While the rhubarb bakes, roll out the chilled pastry on a lightly floured surface. Gently place the pastry into your tart case, prick the base with a fork, and return it to the fridge.
Step 6: To make the filling, beat the softened butter and sugar in a bowl until light and fluffy.
Step 7: Add a spoonful of ground almonds and the eggs, and beat together. Gently mix in the remaining ground almonds and the almond extract until fully incorporated.
Step 8: Remove the pastry case from the fridge and spread the jam evenly over the base.
Step 9: Gently spoon the frangipane mixture over the jam and level the top. Trim the excess pastry from the edges of the tart case.
Step 10: Arrange the softened rhubarb in a pattern over the frangipane and scatter the sliced almonds on top.
Step 11: Bake for 35-45 minutes or until the filling is golden and set. The filling will rise and then settle as it cools.
Step 12: Allow the tart to cool completely on a wire rack before removing from the tin, slicing, and serving.

Notes

If any tears appear in the pastry, simply patch them with pastry remnants.
The filling will rise during baking and then settle as it cools.
Serve with custard or cream.
