Steps

  • Preheat the oven to 160°C.
  • Mix flour, almonds, and icing sugar in a bowl, then rub in butter and knead with half of the beaten egg to form a dough.
  • Wrap the pastry in cling film and rest for one hour.
  • Roll pastry to 2mm thickness and line four greased, floured flan dishes.
  • Chill the pastry cases for ten minutes, then blind bake with baking beans for 15 minutes.
  • Remove beans, brush with egg, and bake for five more minutes until golden.
  • Mix curd cheese with lemon zest and juice, let stand for one hour, then drain and place in the pastry cases.
  • Top the cheese with tea-soaked currants.
  • Whisk large eggs and caster sugar until fluffy, then pour over the cheese and currants.
  • Reduce oven to 150°C and bake tarts for 30 to 40 minutes.
  • Fold yoghurt, rosewater, and redcurrants into the whipped cream.
  • Serve tarts at room temperature topped with cream and a dusting of icing sugar.
