TOPPING

Instructions
 

  • For the pastry, rub the butter into the flour until it resembles breadcrumbs. Stir in the sugar. Add the beaten egg and press together to form a ball of dough. Wrap in clingfilm and chill for 30 minutes or 15 minutes in the freezer.
  • Pre-het oven at 170°c Fan oven. Line your trays with baking paper.
  • Roll out your pastry to about 3mm thickness and place on your baking trays. Lightly prick the bases with a fork but don't go through.
  • Slightly warm your jam so it's easy to spread and divide the jam evenly over the pastry.
  • Place all the frangipane ingredients in a bowl and beat together until smooth and creamy. Distribute the cream mixture evenly over the jam.
  • Bake in the oven for about 25 minutes or until golden brown. Cool in tray for a few minutes then transfer to wire rack by carefully lifting the baking paper at the sides to completely cool.
  • Meanwhile mix your icing sugar with a little water and place in a piping bag.
  • Decorate your Bakewell tart traybake with your bag of icing. Cut into squares.
