  Butter - for the tart tin
  Flour - for the tart tin
20 grams 0.7ozApricot jelly - for glazing
  Filling
125 grams 4.4ozSugar

2 tablespoons 30mlDouble cream

Recipe Instructions

Pre-heat the oven to 200C. Butter and flour a tart tin with a removable base 22 cm in diameter.

Roll out the pastry to fit the tart tin. Line the tin with the pastry and prick the bottom all over with a fork.  Bake it for 10 minutes at the bottom of the pre-heated oven.  Leave the pastry shell in the tin.

Cooking: Lightly brush a thin layer of apricot glaze over the bottom of the pastry shell.

Put all the remaining ingredients for the filling into a saucepan and heat them gently, stirring to mix them well as they melt.  Raise the oven to 210C. When the filling is melted, spread it in a thin layer on the glazed pastry shell.  Cook it for about 15 minutes: it is ready when the filling begins to bubble.

Leave the cake to cool in its tin, then take it out.

Serving: Cut the cake into little triangles or rectangular pieces.  Serve them with coffee, like 'petits fours'.
