Directions

  2. In a bowl, whisk the eggs and sugar well using a hand whisk or electric mixer.
  3. Add the melted margarine and milk, mixing until well combined.
  4. Gently fold in the flour until smooth.
  5. Pour the batter into the greased tart pan.
  6. Sprinkle the sliced almonds generously over the top.
  7. Bake for about 30 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean and the almonds are golden brown.
  8. Let cool, then dust with powdered sugar before serving.

Recipe Tips

Make sure to beat the eggs thoroughly until they are frothy before adding them to the sugar. This will help incorporate air into the mixture, resulting in a lighter tart.
For added flavor, consider toasting the sliced almonds in a dry skillet over medium heat until golden brown before adding them to the batter. This enhances their nuttiness and provides a richer taste.
Avoid overmixing the batter after adding the flour and baking powder. Gently fold the ingredients together until just combined to prevent the tart from becoming dense and tough.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I substitute margarine with another ingredient?

Yes, you can substitute margarine with an equal amount of unsalted butter, coconut oil, or a plant-based butter alternative. Each will impart a slightly different flavor to the tart, but they will all work well.

How should I store the leftover tart and how long will it last?

Store any leftover tart in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It will keep for about 3 to 4 days. You can also freeze the tart for up to 3 months. Just make sure to wrap it well in plastic wrap and foil before freezing.

What can I do if my tart doesn't rise properly?

If your tart doesn't rise as expected, it may be due to under-mixing the batter or expired baking powder. Ensure all ingredients are well combined before pouring into the tart pan and always check the expiration date of your baking powder to ensure it's still active.

Recommended Drink Pairings

Beer

Portuguese: Super Bock - This light lager has a mild flavor that won't overpower the delicate sweetness of the tart.

General: Hefeweizen - The banana and clove notes in Hefeweizen pair well with the almond and creamy elements of the dessert.
