Ingredients

For the pastry cream

  • 250ml Milk
  • zest of a lemon
  • 1 tsp vanilla essence
  • 3 egg yolks
  • 100g sugar
  • 1 tbsp corn flour
  • 1 tbsp plain flour
  • 25g butter

For the pastry

  • 200g plain flour
  • ¼ teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 tbsp cocoa powder
  • 60g icing sugar
  • 100g butter
  • zest of an orange
  • 1 egg yolk

For the frangipan

  • 90g butter, softened
  • 90g caster sugar
  • 90g ground almonds
  • 1 egg
  • zest of a lemon
  • You will also need 2 boxes strawberries, and glazing jelly

Method

Make the pastry by rubbing together the flour, baking powder, cocoa powder, sugar and butter. Add the orange zest and egg yolk and mix to a soft pastry. Chill for 15 minutes, and then roll out the pastry on a floured surface and use to line a 25cm flan tin with the pastry. Next, make the pastry cream. Put the milk, lemon zest and vanilla in a pan and heat till almost boiling. Meanwhile, whisk the egg yolks and sugar together in a bowl for 2 minutes till pale. Whisk in the corn flour and plain flour, and then whisk in the almost boiling milk. Put the mixture back into the saucepan and bring to the boil whisking constantly, till thick. Remove from the heat, and stir in the butter. Pour the pastry cream into a dish, cover with cling film, and leave to cool for 30 minutes to set. To make the frangipan, simply mix all the ingredients together to a smooth cake mixture. Next, place 2/3 of the chilled pastry cream into the prepared pastry case and spread out. Spread the frangipan on top, and bake in the oven at 180`c for about 35 minutes, or until the frangipan is golden brown. Take the frangipan tart out of the oven and it leave to cool completely before removing it from the tin. Place the frangipan tart on a large serving plate, and spread the remaining pastry cream on top. Wash and hull the strawberries, and arrange them decoratively, side by side on top of the pastry cream to covering the whole tart. Finally, heat up the glazing jelly in a small saucepan, and brush all over the strawberries for a nice, glazed finish. Chill the frangipan tart well before serving.

Agħmel l-għaġina billi tagħġen flimkien id-dqiq, il-kokotina, iz-zokkor u l-butir. Żid il-qoxra tal-larinġa u l-isfar tal-bajda u ħawwad sakemm ikollok għaġina ratba. Kessaħha għal 15-il minuta u iftaħha fuq wiċċ miksi bid-dqiq. Iksi landa ta’ 25ċm b’din l-għaġina. Imbagħad lesti l-krema pastiċċera. Itfa’ l-ħalib, il-qoxra tal-lumija u l-vanilla f’kazzola u saħħan sakemm it-taħlita tkun se tiftaħ tagħli. Sadattant, fi skutella oħra ħabbat l-isfra tal-bajd u z-zokkor għal żewġ minuti, sakemm it-taħlita jkollha lewn ċar. Żid iż-żewġ tipi ta’ dqiq u l-ħalib li jkun kważi fetaħ jagħli u ħawwad. Erġa’ itfa’ t-taħlita fuq in-nar u ibqa’ ħawwad sakemm tiftaħ tagħli u tagħqad. Itfi n-nar, żid il-butir u ħawwad. Itfa’ l-krema f’dixx, iksih bil-cling film u ħalliha tiksaħ għal 30 minuta. Biex tagħmel l-intrita, ħawwad l-ingredjenti kollha flimkien sakemm ikollok taħlita ratba. Ferrex 2/3 tal-krema pastiċċera fuq l-għaġina li tkun lestejt. Itfa’ l-intrita fuqha u aħmi fil-forn f’temperatura ta’ 180oC għal 35 minuta, jew sakemm jiħmar il-wiċċ. Oħroġha mill-forn u ħalliha tiksaħ sew qabel taqlagħha mil-landa. Poġġi t-torta fil-platt li tkun se sservi fih u ferrex il-kumplament tal-krema pastiċċera fil-wiċċ. Aħsel u naddaf il-frawli u żejjen il-wiċċ bihom. Dewweb il-jelly tal-kisi f’kazzola żgħira, u ferrxu fuq il-frawli biex jiġi jleqq. Kessaħ tajjeb qabel isservi. `
