Almond Tart

TARTE DE AMENDOA / ALMOND TART

Filling:
1 stick of butter, softened
1 cup of sugar
2 eggs, beaten
1 cup of flour

Topping:
1/2 cup sugar
1 stick of butter
6 tbs of milk
1 cup of sliced or slivered almonds

Filling:
Grease a tart tin with nonstick spray and sprinkle with flour. Cream the butter with the sugar. To this, add the eggs and flour and mix well. Spread the mixture into the tart tin and bake for about 20 minutes at 350 degrees or until the center looks spongy and is golden. Remove from the oven and set aside.

Topping:
Mix the sugar, butter, milk and almond slices in a sauce pan. Heat the mixture up until it starts to boil and turns into an opaque tan color. Spread the topping over the cooked dough and return to the oven. Bake at 350 degrees for at least 10 minutes or until it turns a golden brown color and the topping is no longer bubbling. Allow to cool before serving.
