The apple, blackcurrant and elderflower smoothie sounded good, but far too healthy for me, as did the pear and almond frangipane tart. |
Why not combine fresh spring fraises with almonds for a fine tarte aux fraises frangipane? |
Spread this almond frangipane mixture into the flan case, then dot cherries here and there over the top, pressing them into the frangipane. |
It's hard to do justice to the succulence of the pears in light frangipane sponge, encased in triumphant, well-fired, crunchy pastry. |
This frangipane is basically equal parts almonds, sugar and butter held together with eggs. |
The pastry was delicately flaky, rich and buttery but not overwhelmingly so, and the frangipane was soft, flavorful and simply marvellous. |
