Frangipane tart

A frangipane tart is a type of tart that is made with a sweet almond-flavored filling. The filling is made by combining almond meal, butter, sugar, and eggs, and is often flavored with vanilla or almond extract. The tart is typically baked in a shortcrust pastry or puff pastry shell, and is often decorated with sliced almonds, fresh fruit, or chocolate.

Frangipane tarts are believed to have originated in Italy, and the name "frangipane" is thought to be derived from the Italian word for almond, "frangipane". The first recorded recipe for a frangipane tart was in a 16th century Italian cookbook, though the tart was likely being made long before this.

Frangipane tarts became popular in France in the 18th century, and were often made with apricot jam or marmalade. Today, frangipane tarts are enjoyed all over the world, and come in a variety of different flavors and styles.

Advice

When making frangipane tart, it is important to first pre-bake the tart shell. This will ensure that the tart shell is cooked through before adding the frangipane filling. Additionally, when making the frangipane filling, it is important to use room temperature butter and eggs in order to ensure that the filling is creamy and smooth. Finally, make sure to bake the tart until the top is golden brown and the filling is set. This will guarantee that your frangipane tart is perfectly cooked and delicious!
