Method

  • step 1

    Make the pastry by tipping all the ingredients, except the yolk, into a food processor and pulsing to the texture of breadcrumbs. Add the yolk, then pulse until it all comes together to form a soft pastry. The pastry will be too soft to roll out, so press it evenly into a loose-based 25cm tart tin until the pastry comes up above the edges of the tin. Rest in the freezer for at least 20 mins.

  • step 2

    Heat oven to 190C/fan 170C/gas 5. Line the tart case with baking parchment and baking beans, then place on a baking sheet and bake for 20 mins until the edges are starting to brown. Remove the beans and paper, then continue to cook for 10 mins until biscuity. Leave to cool, trim the edges with a knife, then carefully remove from the tart tin.

  • step 3

    To make the filling, whisk the crème fraîche with the sugar, vanilla, lemon juice and zest until thick. Spread over the bottom of the tart case, then meticulously place the raspberries on top in concentric circles. Meanwhile, heat up jam in the microwave or in a pan with 2tbsp water until bubbling. Push the glaze through a sieve into a bowl, then paint it over the raspberries with a pasty brush. Bring the whole tart to the table and serve in slices.

Quantities all wrong. There is twice as much pastry mixture as you'd need for a 25cm tart. And it takes twice as long to cook through. Normally a shortcrust pastry case separates easily from the tine when it is cooked but this one sticks fast. It is very crumbly and falls to pieces. The filling is…

I made this tart yesterday and I was not very impressed. The amount of sugar and butter was far too much (other recipes have half the amount of all the ingredients) and so were the raspberries. The dough remained uncooked and when I tried to cut it into slices it broke into many crumbs. The jam at…

Pastry is lovely but the filling is a bit soft. Chilled well before decorating with the raspberries and did not bother with the jam as it's quite sweet enough. Looked lovely and tasted great but the filling started to slide once sliced. I'd use this recipe again but add a setting agent such as…

Followed the recipe exactly and used half fat creme fraiche. All worked very well. The pastry was very thick and crumbly and had a slightly chewy texture my guests commented on as being superb. The raspberries didn't sink, although the glaze could have been boiled a bit longer to make…

I used the pastry for a chocolate tart i was making and it's absolutly lovely! crumbly, sweet, moist and a great flavour from the almonds. It beats shortcrust pastry hands down. I did however find that this recipe makes far to much to line a 25cm tin. I could have done 2/3 of this and had enough.
