This is a recipe I got from a neighbor when we were living in England. It's like a marzipan and sooo easy.

How To Make frangipani flan (tart)

  • 1
    Make a pastry case (or use store-bought) to line a 7 inch removable bottom tart pan and place the pastry in the tart pan.

    Spread the jam on the uncooked pastry case. Sometimes I add a tad more jam if it looks skimpy. You need a very thin layer, however.

    Beat in the egg, then,
  • 5
    Stir in the ground almonds, almond essence and flour.

    Transfer filling mixture to the tart case, spreading evenly.

    Bake in the center of a 325 degree oven for about 30 minutes.

    Place on rack to cool; remove ring and frost with the icing.
  • 9
    Sprinkle sliced or slivered almonds on icing for garnish
