Frangipane and Lemon Tart
When I saw the beautiful picture of Frangipane and Lemon Tart from Donny Hay magazine, I told myself I have to make it because I love almond. I’d used my own sweet tart pastry as base with some grated lemon zest and the filling pastry cream from Donna Hay was pretty simple to make. The smell was awesome when the frangipane was in the oven and I really love the end result. The base was crisp with a hint of lemon flavour and the frangipane was very fragrant because more ground almond than flour was being used. The texture was soft like cake. I am definitely going to try to make this again but with fresh fruits as topping.
Β Β Β Sweet Tart PastryΒ (for detail please referΒ here)
- 200g Plain flour
- 110g Butter
- 50g Icing sugar
- 1/4 tsp Salt
- 1 tsp Finely grated lemon rind
- 2 1/2 tbsp Ice water
- Mix all ingredients till crumbly and add ice water to form dough.
- Shape it into a ball and wrap it with foil then store in freezer for 20 mins.
- Place pastry on to the ring, pressing it to fit the bottom and sides so that no air bubbles lurk under the pastry, but taking care not to stretch it.
- Roll across the top of the ring with the rolling pin. This rolls away any overhanging pastry.
- Prick the pastry at the bottom of the case with a fork.
- Return the pastry dough to the freezer for another 15 mins or you can keep the pastry dough until next day or up to a week.
- Take out pastry from freezer and quickly line it with aluminium foil and blind bake with pie weights or dried beans, to keep the bottom flat.Β Bake at preheated oven at 175C for 20 mins. Remove pie weights and foil immediately after baked.
- Cool down the pastry.Β Β Β
Β Β Β Frangipane
- 100g Butter, softened
- 110g Caster sugar (I used 75g)
- 1 Egg
- 1 Egg yolk
- 120g Almond meal (ground almond)
- 35g Plain flour
- 20g Flaked almonds
- Beat butter and sugar until light and creamy.
- Gradually add the egg and egg yolk and beat until just combined.
- Use a rubber spatula to fold in almond meal and plain flour into egg mixture until just combined.
- Spoon mixture into the pastry case and top with flaked almonds.
- Bake at preheated oven 180C for about 30 minutes or until the frangipane has set.
