Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
- In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, mix the butter and sugar together until they are just combined. Add the vanilla. In a medium bowl, sift together the flour and salt, then add them to the butter-and-sugar mixture. Mix on low speed until the dough starts to come together. Dump onto a surface dusted with flour and shape into a flat disk. Press the dough into a 10-inch-round or 9-inch-square false-bottom tart pan, making sure that the finished edge is flat. Chill until firm.
- Butter one side of a square of aluminum foil to fit inside the tart and place it, buttered side down, on the pastry. Fill with beans or rice. Bake for 20 minutes. Remove the foil and beans, prick the tart all over with the tines of a fork, and bake again for 20 to 25 minutes more, or until lightly browned. Allow to cool to room temperature.
- Spread the tart with raspberry preserves and place the raspberries, stem end down, in concentric circles. If you are making a square tart, place the raspberries in rows. Serve immediately.

Steps:
- Roll out the pastry on a lightly floured work surface. Use the pastry to line a 23cm loose-bottomed tart tin (see step-by-step). Cover with cling film and leave in the fridge to rest for 1 hr.
- Heat the oven to 190C/170C fan/gas 5. To make the filling, put the butter, sugar and lemon juice in a food processor, then blend until light and fluffy. With the machine running at full speed, add the eggs and almond extract, and whizz until combined to a smooth paste. Fold in the breadcrumbs and ground almonds by hand.
- Take the tart case from the fridge, line with baking parchment and baking beans and place on a baking tray. Bake for 20 mins until the sides are set and the pastry is sandy. Carefully remove the beans and the parchment and place tart case back in the oven for 10 mins until the base is biscuity.
- Remove from the oven and spread the jam over the base, then top with the almond filling. Return the tart to the oven for a further 25 mins until the almond layer is cooked. Leave to cool in the tin.
- Remove the tart from the tin and place on a serving plate. Mix the icing sugar with 4-5 tbsp water to make a thick icing. Flood the top of the tart with the icing, keeping 1 tbsp aside, then arrange the raspberries on top, all pointing upwards. Drizzle with the remaining icing and scatter with flaked almonds. Leave for 10 mins so the icing can set a little, before serving.

STEPHANIE JOHNSTON'S BAKEWELL TART
A classic British bakewell tart is a threesome: a crust; a layer of raspberry jam - one chockfull of seeds; and a sponge cake redolent of almonds. Sliced almonds and a drizzle of icing may or may not be optional, depending on whose recipe you're using. I got my first taste of a bakewell, and this recipe, in Paris from my friend, Stephanie Johnston, who got it from her mom, Granny Annie, in England. Granny never used almonds or icing but occasionally swapped her homemade raspberry jam for red currant jelly or lemon curd. When I asked what made a good bakewell, Steph instructed, "The crust, the jam and the almond cake." Well, of course. That settled, Stephanie confessed to using Bonne Maman jam from the supermarket. As for the crust, both Steph and her mom make a plain, all-butter crust, think pâte brisée or pie dough. We polished off Steph's tart in one go after dinner, but had we shown more discipline, it would have kept at room temperature for three more days.

Steps:
- Center a rack in the oven, and preheat it to 400. Prick the crust all over with a fork, cover with buttered foil and fill with dried rice or beans. Place on a baking sheet, and bake for 15 minutes. Remove the foil and weights, and bake for 3 minutes more, until lightly colored. Set aside to cool.
- To make the filling: Reduce the oven temperature to 350. Whisk the almond flour, all-purpose flour, baking powder and sea salt together. Working with a mixer, beat the butter and sugar together on medium speed for 3 minutes, until pale and creamy. Gradually beat in the eggs, scraping the bowl as needed. The mixture may curdle - it's O.K. Beat in the almond extract. Reduce the mixer speed to low, and add half of the dry mixture. When incorporated, add the rest, and beat only until it disappears into the batter. Finish blending with a spatula.
- Spread the jam in the crust, and top with the filling, covering the jam as completely as you can. (The filling doesn't spread easily, but imperfections work out in the end.) If you'd like, sprinkle with sliced almonds.
- Bake the tart for 40 to 50 minutes, or until the top feels firm and is puffed all the way to the center. (Check the tart after about 25 minutes, and if it is browning quickly, tent it loosely with foil.) Transfer to a rack, and let it cool before icing, if you'd like, and serving.
- To make the icing: Stir the sugar and 1/2 tablespoon water together. If the icing doesn't run off the spoon slowly and steadily, add more water drop by drop. Drizzle over the tart, and let it dry at room temperature.

Steps:
- For crust:
- Blend first 4 ingredients in processor. Add butter; cut in using on/off turns until mixture resembles fine meal. Blend in enough water by tablespoons to bind dough. Gather into ball; flatten into disk. Wrap in plastic; chill 1 hour.
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Roll out dough on floured surface to 11-inch round. Transfer to 9-inch-diameter tart pan with removable bottom. Trim edges. Freeze crust 15 minutes. Line with foil. Fill with dried beans or pie weights. Bake until set, about 20 minutes. Remove foil and beans and bake crust until golden, about 10 minutes. Transfer to rack and cool. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and let stand at room temperature.)
- For filling:
- Place cream in heavy medium saucepan. Scrape in seeds from vanilla bean; add bean.
- Bring to simmer. Whisk sugar, yolks and cornstarch in small bowl to blend. Slowly whisk hot cream into yolk mixture. Return to saucepan and cook over medium heat until custard thickens and boils, whisking often, about 7 minutes. Discard vanilla bean. Chill until firm but still spoonable, whisking occasionally, about 1 hour.
- Spread preserves in crust. Carefully spoon custard over. Refrigerate until custard is firm, 4 to 8 hours.
- Preheat broiler. Press brown sugar through sieve over tart, covering evenly. Broil until sugar caramelizes, rotating pan as necessary to prevent burning and watching carefully. Chill 1 hour. Transfer to platter. Garnish with berries and mint.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4 and base-line and grease a deep 20cm loose-bottomed cake tin. Blitz the ground almonds, butter, sugar, flour, eggs and vanilla extract in a food processor until well combined.
- Spread half the mix over the cake tin and smooth over the top. Scatter the raspberries over, then dollop the remaining cake mixture on top and roughly spread - you might find this easier to do with your fingers. Scatter with flaked almonds and bake for 50 mins until golden. Cool, remove from the tin and dust with icing sugar to serve.

Tips:
- Use fresh raspberries for the best flavor. If using frozen raspberries, thaw them completely before using.
- Make sure the butter is cold before creaming it with the sugar. This will help to create a light and fluffy pastry.
- Do not overmix the pastry dough. Overmixing will make the pastry tough.
- Roll out the pastry dough between two sheets of parchment paper. This will help to prevent the pastry from sticking to your work surface.
- Chill the pastry dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help to prevent the pastry from shrinking.
- Bake the tart in a preheated oven. This will help to ensure that the pastry is cooked evenly.
- Allow the tart to cool completely before serving. This will help to prevent the filling from running out.

This raspberry red Bakewell tart is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. The tart is made with a sweet and buttery pastry crust, a layer of raspberry jam, and a creamy almond frangipane filling.
