Bramble Tart

• 
• Ingredients
• • 190g (6.5oz) plain flour
  • 100g (3.5oz) butter
  • 1 egg yolk
  • Pinch of salt
  • 3 tbsps water
• Frangipane
• • 100g (3.5oz) butter
  • 100g (3.5oz) caster sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 100g (3.5oz) ground almonds
  • 25g (1oz) plain flour
  • 2 tbsps framboise
  • 2 tbsps bramble jelly
  • 125g (4oz) blackberries
  • 1 tbsp caster sugar

Method to make pastry

1. The butter should be at room temperature so utilise the warmth from your Redfyre's hotplate if the butter is taken straight from the fridge.
2. Place all the ingredients into a bowl, using one hand only, mix the ingredients together to form a paste. Gently knead the pastry on a floured surface. The glutinous quality will disappear but the pastry will remain pliable.
3. Chill before use if time allows.

Method to make the Frangipane

1. Cream the butter and sugar together until light and creamy. Beat the whole egg and egg yolk together and add to the mixture a little at a time.
2. Stir in the ground almonds, plain flour and framboise.

Method to prepare the tart

1. Roll out the pastry on a floured surface and line a greased 25cm (10") flan tin. Spread the bramble jelly over the base, use the warmth of the hotplate to soften the jelly before use, by placing the jar in a convenient position.
2. Cover evenly with the frangipane. Scatter the blackberries over the surface and bake 30-40 minutes.
3. Ten minutes before the finished cooking time, sprinkle 1 tbsp of caster sugar over the surface and finish cooking.
