These elegant almond tartlets are one of our classic recipes from chef Adam Gray. The perfect dessert for dinner parties, these look incredibly elegant but can be made ahead for ease. Served with a creamy custard to balance the tart raspberries.
In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, sprinkling in a little of the ground almonds at the same time to help emulsify the mixture
Pipe or spoon the mixture evenly into the pastry cases, making sure it is spread evenly and not to overfill the cases. Bake for 10 minutes, until the mixture is firm to the touch and light golden in colour. Remove the bakewell tarts from the oven

These can be served while still warm, or cooled completely to serve later if making ahead. When ready to serve, add the apricot jam in a small pan on a medium heat and allow to soften to liquid form
