Ingredients

For the Tartlet Shells

1 cup all-purpose flour a versatile base for a flaky crust
1/2 cup unsalted butter ensure it's cold for perfect texture
1/4 cup powdered sugar adds sweetness and tenderness
1 large egg yolk binds ingredients together
2-3 tbsp ice water use sparingly to keep dough cool

For the Almond Filling

1 cup ground almonds provides nutty depth of flavor
1/2 cup granulated sugar sweetens the filling
2 large eggs use fresh for best results
1 tsp vanilla extract enhances flavor profile
1 tsp almond extract intensifies almond flavor

For Garnishing (Optional)

1/4 cup sliced almonds add crunch on top
1 tbsp powdered sugar for dusting before serving

Method

Baking the Tartlets

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Prepare the tartlet shells by combining flour, butter, and sugar in a bowl. Mix until crumbly and press into your tartlet pans.
Chill the prepared tartlet shells in the fridge for about 15 minutes.
Bake the shells for 15-20 minutes or until lightly golden brown.
In a separate bowl, whisk together ground almonds, sugar, eggs, and almond extract until smooth.
Fill each tartlet shell with the almond mixture, smoothing it out with a spatula.
Bake again for another 20-25 minutes until the filling is set and slightly puffed up.
Cool the almond tartlets on a wire rack for at least 10 minutes before serving.
