    Method

    1. Step 1

      Pre-heat the oven to 180°C (fan 160°C, gas mark 4) and place in a baking tray to warm.

    2. Step 2

      Lightly rub together the flour, ground almonds and butter using your fingertips until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs. Add the sugar.

    3. Step 3

      Take out 3 tablespoons of the mix and put aside for the topping.

    4. Step 4

      Add the water to the bowl and gently mix together to form a dough. Add a little more water if necessary. Wrap the dough in cling film and refrigerate for 15 minutes.

    5. Step 5

      Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and roll out. Cut out 6 rounds using a 12 cm cutter and use to line 6 small tartlet tins.

    6. Step 6

      Warm the jam gently until it has just melted and add the chopped strawberries. Divide this mixture between the tartlet tins, taking care not to overfill.

    7. Step 7

      Add the flaked almonds and muscovado sugar to the reserved crumble and mix together. Sprinkle this topping over the tarts.

    8. Step 8

      Bake on the pre-heated baking tray for 30-35 minutes or until the tarts are golden.

    9. Step 9

      Leave to cool before removing from the tins or serve slightly warm with fresh cream or ice cream.
