Frangipane Fruitmince Tarts

To make Frangipane Fruitmince Tarts all you need, naturally enough is a frangipane mixture!

Frangipane Fruitmince Tarts
[Makes 24 tarts]

Frangipane
80 grams butter, softened
80 grams caster sugar
2 eggs
80 grams almond meal


Follow the instructions for making the Traditional Fruitmince Tarts but you don't need to cut out any stars - the frangipane takes its place.

To make the Frangipane:

Place the butter and sugar into a bowl and beat using an electric mixer until creamy. Beat the eggs in, one at a time - make sure the egg is fully amalgamated before adding the second egg.

Stir in the almond meal.

Spoon the filling into each tart - try not to overfill as the frangipane will rise when cooked.

Cook in a preheated 180°C/350°F oven until golden - about 15-25 minutes.

  2. Thanks Patricia - I think my hands are too warm for pastry making, my mother really has the magic hands when it comes to pastry. It took a few takes to get just the right bite ;)

    Thanks Sher - the frangipane just works so well, it's my favourite.

  8. Hi Haalo,
    I thought I'd let you know how my frangipane turned.
    It was so very easy to make and bake.
    I took a dozen to my parents this morning for morning tea and they just loved them.

    I will include some in a couple of orders due for Sunday, just as a thank for the orders.

    Another hit:):)

    Thanks again.
