Method
- Heat oven to Mark 6/200°C. Grease a 20cm loose-based fluted tin. Unroll the pastry onto a rolling pin, then unroll over the tin. Press the pastry into the tin (it should hang over the edge slightly). Chill in the fridge for 20 mins.
- Line the pastry case with baking paper and fill with baking beans. Bake blind for 10-15 mins, remove the baking beans, then return to the oven for 3-4 mins. Remove from the oven and reduce the oven temperature to Mark 4/180°C.
- Using an electric whisk, beat together the butter and sugar until pale. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, until combined. Fold in the almonds, flour and almond extract, and beat for 1 min. Gently fold in the raspberries.
- Spoon the filling into the pastry case, put on a baking tray and bake for 20-25 mins until golden. Leave to cool in the tin and dust with icing sugar to serve.
