Ingredients
- 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 7 tbsp, cold and cubed unsalted butter
- 1 egg yolk
- 3/4 cup almond flour
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 5 tbsp, softened unsalted butter
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 tsp almond extract
- 24, about 2 per tartlet fresh raspberries
- 2 tbsp, warmed slightly for drizzle honey
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat oven to 350°F. In a food processor, pulse 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour with 1/4 cup powdered sugar and 7 tbsp cold cubed unsalted butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add 1 egg yolk and pulse until dough begins to form. Turn dough onto a floured surface and knead lightly into a ball. Wrap in plastic and chill for 30 minutes.
- Step 2: Roll chilled dough to 1/8-inch thickness and cut out 3-inch circles to fit into 12 mini tartlet pans. Press dough gently into pans and prick bottoms with a fork. Chill tart shells for 10 minutes.
- Step 3: In a bowl, beat 3/4 cup almond flour with 1/3 cup granulated sugar, 5 tbsp softened unsalted butter, 1 large egg, and 1/2 tsp almond extract until smooth and creamy.
- Step 4: Spoon frangipane mixture evenly into the chilled tart shells, filling about 3/4 full. Top each filled tartlet with 2 fresh raspberries, gently pressing them into the filling.
- Step 5: Bake tartlets for 20-25 minutes until the frangipane is set and edges of the crust are golden. Remove from oven and cool on a wire rack.
- Step 6: Drizzle 2 tbsp warmed honey over the cooled tartlets just before serving for a glossy finish.
