[how to make]

(for the pastry)

*Mix all the ingredients of the pastry, and rest the pastry in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, preferably several, or, better still, overnight.

*Lightly grease three 12-hole tartlet pans or a 7 3/4" square pan.

*Flour your work surface and roll out the pastry 1/8" thick for tartlets or 3/16" thick for a large tart.

*Use it to line your pan, then put into the refrigerator to rest for 30 minutes.


(for the almond cream)

*Beat the butter until very soft, preferably in a stand mixer.

*With the motor running, add the sugar and ground almonds and mix some more.

*Now mix in the flour, then the eggs, and finally the rum.

*Transfer to a small bowl and put in the refrigerator for 15 minutes.


(for the custard cream)

*Put the milk into a heavy based saucepan.

*Using a sharp knife, split the vanilla bean along its length, scrape the seeds into the milk, then put the halved in too.

*Put the egg yolks and sugar into a bowl and whisk until pale and creamy.

*Add the flour and mix until smooth.

*Put the pan of milk over medium heat, bring to just under a boil, then slowly pour half of it into the egg mixture, whisking well as you do so.

*Add the remainder of the milk and whisk again, then pour the mixture back into the pan.

*Bring to a boil, whisking all the time, then keep boiling and whisking continuously for 1 minute. Remove from the heat.

*Pour the mixture into a clean bowl and scoop out the vanilla pods.

*Cover the surface of the bowl with parchment paper straightaway to prevent a skin forming.

*Allow to cool, then store int eh refrigerator until you are ready to use it.


(baking)

*Mix the almond cream and custard cream together in a bowl.

*Using a spoon or piping bag, fill the pastry crusts to the top with mixture.

*Bake the tartlets for 15-20 minutes and the large tart for 25-30 minutes, until golden brown.

*Leave to cool in the pans for 15 minutes before lifting out and cooling on a rack.


(for the glaze)

*Put the jam into a saucepan with the water and bring to just under a simmer. (Do not let the mixture boil or the jam will become gooey to spread properly.)

*Press the jam through a fine sieve to remove any pulp.

*Using a pastry brush, lightly glaze the top of the tartlets or tart.


(for the topping)

*Sprinkle the tops with the ground pistachios.

*Cover and refrigerate until needed.


(for the assembly)

*Pull the custard from the refrigerator, and divide it among the tartlet shells.

*Using a small offset spatula or the rounded side of a teaspoon, smooth the edges of the custard and form a slight dome in the center.

*Top each tartlet with an equal volume of whipped cream and smooth it like the custard.

*Then evenly sprinkle toasted coconut flakes over the entire top.

*Garnish each with raspberry and an edible flower, if any.

*Place on the mixer fitted with the paddle attachment and beat on medium speed until very light, about 5 minutes.
*Beat in the egg yolks, one at a time, beating smooth after each addition.
*Beat in the lemon zest and vanilla.
*Stop the mixer and scrape down the bowl and beater with a large rubber spatula.
*Add the flour and beat on lowest speed, just until the flour is absorbed.
*Scrape the dough to a floured surface and form it into a rectangle 1/2" thick.
*Refrigerate in plastic wrap until firm, about 1 hour.
(You may leave the dough refrigerated for up to 2 days before continuing.)

*To make the tartlet shells, remove the dough from the refrigerator and place it on a floured surface.
*Cut the dough into 4 equal peices.
*Leave 1 piece of dough out and refrigerate the rest.
*Flour the dough and use a rolling pin to press it with a series of close parallel strokes to soften it.
*Roll the dough to a 76" square.
*Use a 3" plain cutter to cut rounds of the dough.
*Fit them into the pans and use your thumbs to press them well into the bottom and sides.
