Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup (113g) unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup (100g) almond flour
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
- 1 9-inch pre-baked tart shell
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Make sure your tart shell is fully baked and cooled.
- In a bowl, cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time.
- Add vanilla extract, then fold in almond flour, all-purpose flour, and salt until just combined.
- Set the tart shell on a baking sheet. Spoon in the frangipane filling and smooth the top.
- Bake for 30 to 35 minutes until golden and puffed, and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Cool in the pan for 15 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Dust with powdered sugar or top with fruit before serving.
Notes
- Use high-quality almond flour for best texture.
- Do not overbake to keep the filling moist.
- Add a layer of fruit preserves under the filling for extra flavor.
- Chill tart dough before baking to prevent shrinkage.
