Frangipane Tart

After such a crappy pizza I was super excited about how my tart turned out! It was my first time making shortcrust pastry so I had a feeling it wouldn't turn out but I was pleasantly surprised. It was relatively easy in terms of number of steps.

Ok so first thing, butter and flour into a food processor until they resemble bread crumbs then add 1 egg. That was easy. Then just letting it come together and I just moulded it into a log to go into the fridge.



As I was multi-tasking, the dough was put in the fridge a little longer than expected so it was VERY difficult to roll out the dough. I'm not a physically strong person so I really had to put some muscle into it. I finally managed to roll it out and put it into the tin with no tears or holes.



Ok so next step is the filling which was super easy and took no time at all. Once it was in the oven, I just kept an eye on it. I find that when I bake, timing never matched the recipe so I go by feel. End result was perfect!! Pastry was cooked, filling was set. It is delicious, simple and easy to share. Definitely making this one again.
