How To make Grape Tartlets with Almond Crust
ALMOND CRUST:
1/4 c Almonds; slivered blanched
1 1/2 c Flour, all purpose
1/4 ts -Salt
3 tb Brown sugar; firmly packed
1/2 c Butter;cold, unsalted,1stick
-cut into small pieces 1 lg Egg; cold
1/2 ts Almond extract
1/4 ts Lemon zest;freshly grated
GLAZE:
3/4 c Apricot preserves
3 tb Sherry
TO ASSEMBLE:
3/4 lb Grapes; preferably an
-assortment of 2-3 colors, -halved & if necessary, -seeded 1/4 c Almonds, slivered; lightly
-toasted "Take these to a picnic in the pans that they were baked in to prevent crushing. Assemble them not more than 6 hours before serving time. For a single 10 inch tarts, bake the crust for 15 minutes with foil in and a further 20 to 30 minutes empty." Finely grind almonds in a food processor with on/off motion, or crush with a rolling pin until as finely ground as possible. Add flour, salt and brown sugar to processor and blend, or combine ground almonds, flour, salt and brown sugar in a bowl and stir to blend. Add butter and process or work with the fingertips until mixture reassembles coarse crumbs. In a small bowl beat egg lightly. Stir in the vanilla and lemon zest. With a processor on, add egg mixture to dough through feed tube and process until dough forms. Pat dough into ball, wrap in plastic wrap and chill in refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. Remove dough from refrigerator and divide into 8 equal parts. Press each piece into a lightly buttered 3 to 3 1/2 inch tartlet pan, preferably with removable rim, patting into an even layer. (The dough will soften as you work with it.) Chill tartlet shells in freezer for at least 30 minutes before baking. Preheat oven to 400F. remove tartlet shells from freezer, line each with a square of foil, and fill with pie weights or dried beans to prevent dough from puffing during baking. bake on baking sheet in center of oven for 10 minutes. remove foil with weights, reduce oven temperature to 350F, and continue baking for 15 to 20 minutes, or until pastry is a rich, golden brown. Let tartlet shells cool in pans and place on wire racks to cool completely. To prevent glaze, combine preserves and sherry in a small saucepan and warm over medium heat, stirring, until preserves are melted. strain through a sieve. To assemble tarts, brush tarts on the bottom of each tartlet shell. arrange grapes, cut sides down, in a decorative pattern, alternating colors, in the bottom of each pastry shell. Brush remaining glaze, reheating it if necessary, over grapes and edges of tartlets. sprinkle toasted almonds over tartlets before glaze sets. Serve at room temperature.

Making a good tart crust is key to making a good tart. If you don’t have a good basket, then whatever you put inside would just fall out! If you are having trouble with tart getting stuck in the perforated ring, then read till the end.
BTW, I will upload how to make a “PIE CRUST” in another video!

▶Tart Crust◀
Yield: 1 tart crust of 16cm diameter (2cm height) To be honest, if you scrape the leftovers and roll them out, you can get more than 1 tart shell.
Unsalted Butter (room temp) 100g
Salt a pinch
Powdered Sugar 72g
Almond Powder 20g
Corn Starch 30g
Eggs (room temp)36g
Cake Flour 170g
① Beat the room temp. butter lightly (add in salt).
② Sift in powdered sugar, almond powder and corn starch. Beat lightly.
③ Add the room temp. eggs gradually and mix.
④ Finally, add in the cake flour and mix well.
⑤ Roll it out to 2mm/3mm thickness between parchment papers. (2mm thickness for 6~8cm diameter, 3mm thickness for 14~18cm thickness. Any other sizes, you decide)
⑥ Rest in the fridge for 1~2hrs.
⑦ For regular tart pan: Cut it out into one big disc
For perforated tart ring: Cut it out into strips/discs
⑧ For regular tart pan: Line the tart pan. Prick the bottom. Place a sheet of parchment paper and then pie weights.
For perforated tart ring: Line the ring. Place it on a perforated mat.
⑨ For regular tart pan: Bake at 170℃ for 10mins, take the pie weights out, then bake for another 5 mins. (160℃ for 2mm)
For perforated tart ring: Bake at 170℃ for 15mins. (160℃ for 2mm)
▶How to store◀
I usually store the tart crust in the strip/disc format in the freezer up to a month and bake just before use. Alternatively, you can bake the tart shells, cool them, then store them in this baked state in the freezer up to a month – but I usually don’t do this because it takes up too much space!
▶Tart shell getting stuck in the perforated rings◀
I had this issue when I started out baking and got so so frustrated. In the end, I finally found out the solution(s). The tart shell is meant to shrink slightly so that it can come off the ring. There are several tips, and you need to follow all of them.
1. Do not beat the dough and incorporate a lot of air – I mentioned in the video that you shouldn’t incorporate much air. The tart shell will expand and get stuck.
2. Rest the dough in the fridge for 1~2hrs.
3. Work fast so that the strip/disc dough doesn’t get stuck inside the holes. The holes are meant to help you, but in this case it’s making things worse.
4. Use my recipe – I have cornstarch in the recipe and it’s meant to help.
5. If the above doesn’t help then bake it for 2~3mins longer than usual – there is a turning point during the baking process where the tart shell starts to shrink and if you bake it too short, it will not go past the turning point.
6. If all the above doesn’t help, then just give it a break and stay away from perforated rings until your overall baking skills improve.
▶Egg wash◀
Mix heavy cream and egg yolk at a ratio of 1:4. Mix them well and strain it before use. Once the tart shell has cooled down completely, then brush them evenly. Bake it at 160℃ for 10mins. If you are baking almond cream for the tart, then brush the egg wash followed by filling it in with the almond cream – essentially you are baking the egg wash and almond cream at the same time. In this case, just bake the almond cream at whichever setting you decided.

BETH’S PEAR ALMOND TART RECIPE
Serves 8
INGREDIENTS:
FOR PASTRY:
1 ¼ cup (150 g) flour
1 tbsp (12 g) sugar
½ tsp (5 ml) salt
8 tbsp (120 g) cold unsalted butter
1 egg yolk
3-4 tbsp (45ml-60 ml) ice water
For Filling:
7 oz (196 g) almond paste
8 tbsp (120 g) unsalted butter, room temperature and soft
¼ cup (50 g) sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp (5 ml) almond extract
¼ tsp (1.25 ml) salt
1/3 cup (40 g) of flour
8 pear halves, jarred or canned
1 tbsp (15 ml) sliced almonds, for garnish
1 tbsp (15 ml) apple jelly, for garnish
Homemade Whipped Cream
2 cups (480 ml) heavy cream
2 tbsp (13 g) powdered sugar, confectioner’s sugar, or icing sugar (all the same thing)
1 tsp (5 ml) vanilla extract
METHOD:
To make Pastry: In a food processor combine flour, sugar, salt and pulse until combined. Add butter cubes a few at a time, pulsing quickly until dough resembles a coarse meal.
Whisk egg yolk with ice water until combined. With the machine running, add egg mixture until combined and a dough forms. If not sticking together add 1tbsp more water. If too sticky add 1-2 tbsp more flour.
Form dough into a ball, flatten into a disc, wrap in parchment and refrigerate at least 1 hour or overnight even easier.
Roll out dough into a large circle. Place in a removable bottom tart tin. Transfer dough into tin, fold over edges inward to create a double crust, this will add stability to your shell.
Remove excess dough with a knife and continue to fit dough into tin, pressing edges in and making sure top of dough is flush with the tin.
Pop tart in freezer while you make the filling.
Preheat oven to 350F (176C).
In an electric mixer combine almond paste, butter and sugar, beat until combined and fluffy.
Add eggs, one at a time, beating in-between each addition. Add almond extract, salt and flour. Beat to combine scrapping down bowl as needed.
Remove tart tin from the freezer and pour mixture into the center, smoothing out to the edges with a spatula.
Then place the pear halves around the edges, with the points facing in. Jarred pears really the best, because they are soft, and already peeled! Otherwise pears take a long time to cook if using fresh and pastry will be done before the pears are soft.
Be sure to space pears out so they are not touching, as filling will puff up and they need room to expand. If you have room in the center you can add another pear in the middle.
Bake for 40-45 minutes until pastry is golden brown and filling is puffed up and golden.
Then melt apple jelly in microwave :30 until liquefied. Brush pears only with the jelly for a nice shine. Sprinkle with sliced almonds.
Remove tart from the tin, place on a cake stand and “ta da!”
Cut into wedges and serve with whipped cream. Enjoy!!
