Bakewell Tarts

8 oz shortcrust pastry
1 filling
1 raspberry or
1 strawberry jam
4 oz margarine
4 oz caster sugar
4 oz ground almonds
2 eggs, well beaten
1 few drops almond essence

Instructions

Set oven to 375F. Line a shallow pie dish with pastry and spread with a layer of jam. Mix all the other ingredients together and spread over the jam. Bake for 20-30 minutes until the fllling is set.

The use of ground almonds makes the filling firmer. Another variation of this recipe uses 2 oz. self- raising flour and 2 oz. ground rice instead of the ground almonds.
