Almond Paste

[PrincessFiona60]

That's pretty much all there is Harry. I make a frangipane with the almond paste, butter, sugar and vanilla. After baking, I'll brush an apricot glaze over the top.

That sounds fantastic...

Sadly, no. Besides I consider sharing vastly overrated.

bloody hell andy that looks,and i'm sure tastes,sublime...as good if not better than any french patisserie i've seen....and those chaps know how to bake a tart....respect!!
i haven't looked yet,but if you haven't already,any chance of posting the pics on food photo's please mate?

Harry, you're my inspiration for posting the tart photos.

I think it makes more sense to post this type of photo post in their appropriate forums so they are easier to find. If someone is looking for a baked goods recipe, they don't have to wade through dozens of dinner photos in hopes of finding one.

thanks andy,appreciate that,really
i was just thinking food photo's because i can't bake,harry & flour don't get along at all,never have,probably never will,so i never look in that thread.whereas i always look in food photo's to see what's new.just a thought mate

 

[pacanis]

That's about as well as flour and I get along, too, Harry. Unless it's going into gravy of course.

[pacanis]

That, too!

So make the tart with a pre-made crust.

ha! good thinking tax!!

I don't think a pre-made crust cooks better/faster than homemade.

it does if,like me,you can't make one andy!!

Harry, the thought of making a pastry crust is daunting. The actual effort required is not. I just toss a bunch of stuff into a food processor and turn it on.

I didn't mean you. I meant those two who think they are pastry impaired. I certainly prefer using homemade.
