Ingredients

Servings: 16
  • 70 g Butter
  • 125 g Flour
  • 7-10 Tbsp Salt
  • 70 g Icing sugar
  • 1 Egg yolk (size M)
  • 300 g peeled almonds
  • 250 g Sugar
  • 450 g Whipped cream
  • 7-10 Tbsp red food colouring
  • 7-10 Tbsp Grease
  • 7-10 Tbsp Dried peas
  • 7-10 Tbsp Cling film
  • baking paper

Directions

  1. 1

    Cut the butter into pieces. Put flour, salt and icing sugar in a bowl. Add butter and egg yolk and knead to a smooth dough, first with the dough hooks of the hand mixer, then with your hands quickly.

  2. 2

    If the dough is too dry, add approx. 1 tablespoon of water. Wrap dough in cling film and chill for approx. 30 minutes.

  3. 3

    Roll out the shortcrust pastry in a rectangular shape (approx. 13 x 37 cm) and line a greased tart mould with lift-off base (11.5 x 35 cm) with it. Fold the protruding edges inwards and press them firmly. Place baking paper on top and fill with dried peas.

  4. 4

    Bake in a preheated oven (electric cooker: 200 °C/ convection oven: 175 °C/ gas: see manufacturer) for approx. 15 minutes. Remove paper and peas and bake for another 5 minutes. Take out and let cool down.

  5. 5

    Bring the almonds, sugar and 100 ml water to the boil and boil while stirring to a light caramel. Carefully add the cream and simmer for 15-20 minutes until you get a shiny red syrup. Stir in a little red food colouring and place on the short pastry base.

  6. 6

    let it cool down. Chill the tart for about 1 hour.
