Steps

  • Stir the sugar, flour, almonds, and cinnamon in a large bowl until combined.
  • Rub the butter cubes into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse, moist breadcrumbs.
  • Stir in the beaten egg until the dough forms, then knead lightly into a ball.
  • Press three quarters of the dough into the base and sides of a 24cm fluted tart tin.
  • Spread the raspberry jam evenly over the dough base.
  • Roll the remaining dough to 3mm thickness and cut into 1.5cm strips.
  • Create a lattice pattern with the strips over the jam and chill for 30 to 60 minutes.
  • Bake at 190°C for 30 minutes until the pastry is pale golden brown.
  • Cool the tart in the tin before transferring to a serving board.
  • Dust with icing sugar and cut into wedges to serve.
