- Add the dry ingredients in 2 batches and mix for 15 to 30 seconds after each addition. Add the egg and mix on low speed to just combine, then transfer to a bench and work the dough. Divide the dough in half, wrap in cling wrap and refrigerate for 2 hours until firm.
- Divide the mixture in 12 and working with one portion at a time, roll out to a circle roughly 12cm in diameter and use gently press into the base and sides of a 10cm tart case. Repeat until you have done all 12 tarts.
- Blind bake the pastry by lining with baking paper and pie weights, then bake for 10 minutes. Remove the paper and weights and bake for a further 10 minutes until cooked through, then set aside to cool.
Method - Filling
- Cream the butter and Natvia in a bowl, then beat in the egg. Add the almond essence, almond meal and flour, and stir to combine.
- Spread a little raspberry jam over the base of each baked tart case, top with the almond meal filling, then scatter over the flaked almonds. Bake the tarts for 30 to 40 minutes until the filling is cooked through and the tarts are golden brown.
