Almond Fruit Tarts

INGREDIENTS:-

90g Butter, softened
60g Caster sugar
1 Egg
1 Egg yolk, extra
150g Almond meal
20g Plain flour
1/2 cup Raspberries or Blueberries
1 tbsp Icing sugar


INSTRUCTIONS:-

1) Prehead oven to 150C.
2) Place butter and sugar in a bowl and beat until pale and creamy.
3) Add the egg, egg yolk, almond meal and flour and beat until smooth.
4) Grease tart tins and spoon in the mixture.
5) Smooth the tops and sprinkle over the fruit . Gently press the berries into the filling, sprinkle with icing sugar and bake for 35 - 40 mins or until golden brown.


NOTE:-

1) Try replacing almond meal with hazelnut or walnut meal. Personally, I prefer using walnut meal to make this cause it enhances the colour and taste better.
