Yield Makes ten 4-inch tarts

Number Of Ingredients 17

3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, cut into pieces and chilled
2/3 cup granulated sugar
2 large egg yolks
Pinch of salt
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for surface
2/3 cup blanched whole almonds, toasted
1/2 cup granulated sugar
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
1 large egg
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon dark rum
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon almond extract
2/3 cup sour cherry jam
1 cup confectioners' sugar
2 1/2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

Steps:

  • Make the tart shells: In bowl of food processor, combine butter and granulated sugar and process until smooth. Add egg yolks, salt, and vanilla and process until combined, about 30 seconds. Add 1 cup flour and process until smooth. Add remaining 1 cup flour; process to combine. Turn dough out onto plastic wrap and form into a flat square; wrap tightly and refrigerate until chilled, about 1 hour. Wipe clean food processor bowl.
  • Make the filling: In bowl of food processor, add almonds and granulated sugar and process until finely ground. Add butter, egg, flour, rum, salt, and almond extract, and process until frangipane is smooth.
  • On a lightly floured work surface, roll out chilled dough to a 1/4-inch-thickness. Using a 4 1/2-inch round cutter, cut out 10 circles, re-rolling dough as necessary. Fit each circle into a 4-inch round fluted tart pan with removable bottom, and refrigerate until firm, about 1 hour.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Fill each tart shell with 1 tablespoon jam, then top with about 2 tablespoons frangipane; place on parchment paper-lined rimmed baking sheet. (You will have about 1/4 cup frangipane leftover.) Bake until golden, 30 to 35 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Remove tarts from pans.
  • Make the glaze: Sift confectioners' sugar into a bowl. Stir in lemon juice to combine. Transfer to a pastry bag fitted with a small round tip. Pipe glaze onto tarts as desired.
