Instructions
Shortbread Base
Place the flour into a large mixing bowl together with the ground almonds and sugar.
Add the butter and rub it into the flour with your fingertips until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs.
Add the water and stir with a knife.
Pour the mixture into a 20 cm (8") square silicone mould or lined tin. Press it down with the back of a spoon to form an even layer on the bottom.
Bake at 180℃ (350℉, Gas 4) for 10 minutes.
Frangipane
Meanwhile, cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy.
Beat in the egg.
Sift in the ground almonds, flour and baking powder and stir until just combined.
Spread the mincemeat over the shortbread base then cover with the frangipane.
Scatter the flaked almonds over the top and bake at 180℃ (350℉, Gas 4) for about 20 minutes or until the top is risen and golden.
Leave to cool in the mould, then cut into 12 slices.
