Pastry

50g ground almond
60g castor sugar
125g butter at room temperature
1 egg

Using a wooden spoon, beat butter and sugar until just combined. Add ground almond, egg and flour plus the vanilla. Work into a dough. Do not overknead or pastry won't be flaky. Work into a disc, cover with cling film and chill for abt 30 mins or so.

Roll out pastry to fit an 18 - 20cm tart pan with a removable base. Carefully fit into the greased pan. Neaten the edges. Freeze for abt 20 mins. Poke holes and blind bake in a preheated 180degrees oven for abt 12 mins.Cool completely.
