Lemon Frangipane

 This took nearly 40 mintes to cook but tasted super

  • Pastry Case
  • 2 Tablespoons warmed Lemon Curd
  • 4 ½ oz or ½ cup or 125 g butter
  • ½ cup or 125 g Sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 ⅓ cups or 125 g ground almonds
  • 2 ½ Tablespoons Plain Flour & 1 tsp baking powder
  • Zest of 1 lemon and Juice
  • 1 Tablespoons milk

 

1.     Put the oven on to 190 C, 375 F, Gas 5

2.     Cream the butter and sugar until light in colour and fluffy. Slowly add the beaten eggs. If the mixture looks like it is starting to split, add a tablespoon of your ground almonds.

3.     Add almonds, flour and lemon zest. Add the milk and lemon juice, and gently (low setting on your mixture) combine.

4.     Spread the warmed jam onto the base of your pastry. Add the cake mixture to the flan case.

5.     Bake in the oven for 25 - 30 minutes. Test with a metal skewer. Stick it in the centre, if it comes out clean your frangipane is ready!
