What You'll Need
Ingredients
  • The dough
  • 1/2 cup (75 g /5 oz) plain (all-purpose) flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 3/4 cup (75 g /2 1/2 oz) ground almonds
  • 1/4 cup (60 g /2 oz) sugar
  • 1/3 cup (100 g /3 1/2 oz) salted butter
  • 1 egg
  • The toppings
  • 3 ounces (80 g) raspberries
  • 2 tablespoons flaked almonds
Directions
  1. In the pan, toast the flaked almonds for 5 minutes, stirring constantly. Set aside on a plate.
  2. Mix together the flour, baking powder, ground almonds and sugar. In the pan, melt the butter over a very low heat then, away from the heat, add the egg. Whisk vigorously.
  3. Over a very low heat, add the dry ingredients, then continue to stir with the whisk until you have an even texture.
  4. Smooth the surface and cook for 10 minutes, then press the raspberries into the dough and sprinkle the flaked almonds on top. Cover and cook for a further 5 minutes. Allow to cool for 15 minutes with the lid on and away from the heat before serving.

I followed the "very low heat" instructions and ended up with something more than half raw, that had to be shock-heated to be edible (my crowd was waiting). It qualifies as weeknight dessert. Thank you for the recipe.

I just looked at the sample of the cookbook on Amazon, and each of the five recipes I saw called for a 10-inch skillet. That’s what I would try.

Turbinado sugar and ground walnuts. Absolutely melt in your mouth perfection.

Same question. Because too large a pan and you'll get a burnt thin chip, too small and it's a puddingy mess.
