Ingredients
500g Asda Ready to Roll Shortcrust Pastry
Flour, for rolling out
4 level tbsp Asda Apricot Jam
125g butter, softened
125g caster sugar
4 large eggs
Few drops Asda Extra Special Almond Essence
125g ground almonds
25g self-raising flour
400g plums, halved and stoned
50g flaked almonds
Method
1
Pre-heat the oven to 190C/170C Fan/Gas 5. Roll the pastry out to the thickness of a £1 coin and use to line a 23-24cm flan tin. Trim the edges, then spread jam over the base.
2
Beat together the butter, sugar, eggs, almond essence, ground almonds and flour until evenly mixed. Spread on top of the jam and level the surface
3
Arrange the plums on top, skin-side up, pressing gently so they're half submerged.
4
Sprinkle the flaked almonds on top. Bake the flan for 35-45 minutes or until the centre springs back when lightly pressed. After 25 minutes, cover with baking paper to stop browning too much.
