Method

Sift flour, baking powder, and salt into a bowl, then rub in the fat until crumbly.

Melt redcurrant jelly and brush over the warm tarts.

Pour filling into tarts, top with plums and flaked almonds, then bake for 40-45 minutes.

Melt butter and sugar, then stir in almonds, eggs, and almond essence.

Dissolve the sugar in water within a jug.

Preheat the oven to 180°C and grease three 18cm tart tins.

Roll the pastry thinly, line the tins, and spread plum jam on each base.

Mix the sugar water into the flour to form a dough and rest for one hour.
