Method
- 1
Heat the oven to 200°C (180°C fan). Unroll the pastry and use it to line a 23 cm pie dish or loose bottomed tart tin, trimming the edge. Prick the base with a fork and chill for 10 minutes.
10 min - 2
Spread the jam in an even layer over the pastry.
- 3
Whisk the melted butter and sugar together in a bowl. Beat in the egg yolks, the whole egg, ground almonds and almond extract until smooth.
- 4
Pour the mix over the jam. It will sink through a little, which is how it should be.
- 5
Bake for 15 minutes, then turn the oven down to 180°C (160°C fan) and bake for 25 to 30 minutes more until the filling is set and golden.
40 min - 6
Leave to cool for 20 minutes and serve warm with custard or cream, or eat cold.
