6 tartlets
Ingredients
  • 1 1/4 cups All-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup Almond flour
  • 1/4 cup Powdered sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon Salt
  • 1/2 cup Unsalted butter, cold and cubed
  • 1 Egg yolk
  • 2-3 tablespoons Ice water
  • 1/2 cup Raspberry jam
  • 1 pint Fresh raspberries
  • 1/2 teaspoon Almond extract

Making the Almond Crust

Begin by combining the all-purpose flour, almond flour, powdered sugar, and salt in a food processor. Pulse until combined. Add the cold, cubed butter and pulse until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. In a small bowl, whisk together the egg yolk and ice water. Gradually add the liquid to the flour mixture, pulsing until the dough just comes together. Be careful not to overmix. Form the dough into a disc, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

Prebaking the Tartlet Shells

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Remove the dough from the refrigerator and divide it into 6 equal portions. Press each portion into a tartlet pan, ensuring the dough covers the bottom and sides evenly. Prick the bottom of the tartlet shells with a fork to prevent them from puffing up during baking. Line each tartlet shell with parchment paper and fill with pie weights or dried beans. Bake for 15 minutes, then remove the parchment paper and pie weights. Bake for another 5-10 minutes, or until the crusts are lightly golden brown. Let the tartlet shells cool completely on a wire rack.

Assembling the Tartlets

In a small saucepan, heat the raspberry jam over low heat until melted. Stir in the almond extract. Brush the bottom of each cooled tartlet shell with a layer of melted raspberry jam. Arrange fresh raspberries on top of the jam. Brush the raspberries with a thin layer of the remaining melted jam to give them a glossy finish. Serve immediately or chill for later.
