Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams All-purpose flour
- 125 grams Unsalted butter
- 50 grams Granulated sugar
- 1 large Egg yolk
- 1 tablespoon Cold water
- 100 grams Ground almonds
- 100 grams Powdered sugar
- 100 grams Unsalted butter (for filling)
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Almond extract
- 150 grams Powdered sugar (for glaze)
- 2 tablespoons Milk
- 0.5 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F). Grease a 12-cup tart tin or line with paper liners.
In a medium bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and granulated sugar for the tart crust. Add the unsalted butter in cubes, and rub it into the flour mixture using your fingers until the texture resembles breadcrumbs.
Add the egg yolk and cold water, mixing gently until the dough comes together. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
Roll out the chilled dough on a floured surface to about 3-4mm thin. Cut out rounds slightly larger than your tart tin's cups and press them into the tin. Trim any excess off the edges. Place the tin back into the refrigerator while you prepare the filling.
For the filling, beat the softened butter and powdered sugar in a bowl until pale and fluffy. Mix in the ground almonds, one egg, and almond extract until smooth.
Spoon the almond filling into each tart, spreading it evenly but leaving a little space at the top as the filling will puff up slightly while baking.
Bake the tarts in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes until the edges are golden and the filling is set. Let them cool in the tin for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
To make the glaze, whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract in a bowl until smooth and thick. Add more milk or powdered sugar as needed to achieve a spreadable consistency.
Spread a thin layer of glaze on top of each cooled tart. Optionally, decorate with sliced almonds or sprinkles.
Allow the glaze to set for about 10-15 minutes before serving. Enjoy your homemade Mazariner with coffee or tea!
