Instructions

Stay Awake

1 Lightly grease a 24cm loose- bottomed flan tin or 14 mini tins. Heat oven to180°C. Place all pastry ingredients in a processor and process, adding a 1/4 cup water to make soft dough.

2 Use the dough to line the tin or tins by pressing with your fingers. Trim the edges. Prick base with a fork and bake blind for 15 minutes or until the base is dry and lightly browned. Cool.

3 Warm half the jam and spread on the pastry base. Place nectarines in a microwave- proof dish with the remaining jam and cook on high for 2 minutes to soften slightly. Add nectarines to the flan.

4 Scatter over flaked almonds. Serve with a sprig of mint and a spoonful of yoghurt if you like.

HFG tip

To prevent tarts from going soggy, don’t fill them until you are ready to cook them.
