Lemon and sultana tart

This tart is as delicious served hot or cold.

What you need

50 g sultanas
finely grated rind and juice 2 lemons
for the pastry
225 g plain flour
1 pinch salt
100 g butter
6 tsp very finely chopped almonds
for the filling
50 g butter
225 g golden syrup
300 ml double cream
150 ml soured cream
4 eggs, beaten
3 tsp flaked almonds

Method

  1. Place the sultanas, lemon rind and juice in a small pan. Bring to the boil. Remove from heat. Leave to macerate for 1 hour.

  2. Meanwhile, sift the flour and salt in a bowl. Rub in the butter until mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs. Stir in the chopped almonds and enough cold water to bind to a soft but not sticky dough.

  3. Turn out onto a lightly floured surface and use to line a 23 cm (9in) round x 5cm (2in) deep fluted, loose bottomed flan tin. Trim off any excess pastry. Chill for 30 min.

  4. Preheat oven to 200°C.

  5. Bake the flan case blind with baking parchment and beans for 20 min. Remove paper and beans and cook for further 5 min until golden.

  6. Reduce oven temperature to 180°C.

  7. Mix the butter and golden syrup in a pan. Heat gently for 2-3 min until melted. Remove from the heat. Whisk in the double cream, soured cream and eggs. Stir in the macerated sultanas and any remaining rind and juice.

  8. Spoon the filling into the flan case. Sprinkle flaked almonds over the smooth surface. Cook in the oven at 180°C for 45-50 min until just set. Serve hot or cold in slices.
