- 125 g caster sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 125 g finely ground almonds
- 20 g all-purpose flour
- 25 g flaked almonds

Instructions
Prepare and bake
- Rub the cold butter into the pastry flour until crumbly. Stir in 35 g sugar, the egg yolk and 1 tablespoon cold water. Add only enough extra water to form a cohesive dough. Flatten, wrap and chill 30 minutes.
- Heat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Roll the pastry on a lightly floured surface and line a 9-inch tart tin, pressing gently into the corners. Trim the edge. Prick the base, line with parchment and fill with pie weights. Place on a baking sheet.
- Bake 15 minutes. Carefully lift out the weights and parchment, then bake 5–8 minutes more until the base looks dry. Reduce the oven to 350°F (180°C). Allow the shell to cool slightly while preparing the filling.
- Beat the softened butter and 125 g sugar until light. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then fold in ground almonds and 20 g flour until combined.
- Spread jam thinly over the pastry base. Spoon the almond mixture over it in small dollops, then smooth gently without mixing the layers. Scatter flaked almonds on top.
- Bake 30–35 minutes, until golden and the center is set with no wet batter on a skewer. Shield the top loosely with foil if it browns too quickly. Cool in the tin for at least 1 hour before removing and slicing. Refrigerate leftovers promptly and use within 3–4 days.
