Ingredients:
- 200g gluten-free plain flour
- 100g icing sugar
- 150g dairy-free margarine
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp almond extract
- 150g jam (raspberry or strawberry works best)
- 50g ground almonds
- Flaked almonds for topping (optional)
- Powdered sugar for dusting (optional)
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and grease a muffin tray to prepare for the tarts.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free plain flour and icing sugar. Cut in the dairy-free margarine until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs.
- Add the egg and almond extract to the mixture and bring it together to form a dough. You may need to knead it gently until smooth.
- Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface and cut out circles that fit into the muffin tray. Press the circles into the prepared muffin tray, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
- In each pastry case, add a teaspoon of jam, spreading it evenly across the base.
- In a separate bowl, mix the ground almonds with a little icing sugar and spoon the mixture over the jam filling in each tart.
- If desired, sprinkle some flaked almonds on top of the ground almond mixture.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until lightly golden on top and firm to the touch.
- Once baked, remove from the oven and allow the tarts to cool in the tray for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Dust with powdered sugar before serving for an extra touch of sweetness, and enjoy your gluten-free, dairy-free Small Bakewell Tarts!
