Black Butter and Almond Tarts...or Frangipane Tarts! James avoids using almond essence, preferring to keep it traditional by using ground almonds. He used black butter from Irish Black Butter!

225g plain flour
1 egg yolk
125g butter, diced
250g butter, softened
125g caster sugar
250g ground almonds
5 eggs
25g toasted flaked almonds
Jar of black butter
Clotted cream
Direction :
Preheat the oven to 180C.
To make the pastry, mix the flour and butter together to resemble breadcrumbs, add the egg and bring together. Then, chill for 30 minutes.
