Being invited to friend’s house for a pot luck gathering, I decided to bake these gorgeous tarts taken from my new recipe book. With the purchase of 2 boxes of Flora Pro-activ butter, I got a free healthy recipe book. What a bargain! =)
Ingredients
250g self-raising flour, sifted
125g caster sugar
50g Flora pro-activ Original
1 egg
Filling
125g caster sugar
Finely grated zest of 1 lemon
60mil lemon juice
50g Flora pro-activ original, extra
1 egg, lightly beaten
2tbsp flaked almonds, to serve
What to do
(1) Preheat oven to 180 degree and brush tart moulds with Flora pro-activ.
(2) To create pastry, place flour, sugar, flora pro-activ and egg in a bowl and mix until well combined. Shape into a log, wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 15 minutes.
(3) To create filling, place sugar, lemon zest, lemon juice and extra Flora pro-activ in a small saucepan over low heat. Stir until the sugar is dissolved and gently stir in the egg. Bring to the boil, stirring constantly, until the mixture has thickened.
(4) To assemble slice: Using lightly floured fingertips, press the pastry into the tin. Pour in the hot filling. Sprinkle with almonds. Bake tart for 20 minutes or until golden brown. Serve warm or cold.
