Almond Tart
Louisa Hasen

For the crust:
½ cup butter (melted)
½ cup sugar
1 egg
2 tsp. milk
1½ cups self-raising flour

For the filling :
½ cup sugar
½ cup butter
1 cup slivered almonds
2 Tbsp. milk

For the crust: mix all the ingredients, spread in a greased and floured pie dish or tart pan, making room in the center for the filling. Use a spatula or wet fingers to spread the dough.
For the filling: mix all the ingredients and simmer for 3 to 4 minutes. Pour into the crust and bake at 350o for 20 to 25 minutes.

Note: I met Louisa, a potter who had some association with the Art Gallery, through Suzanne Gouvernet. She made the tart for us for lunch one day. Her family owned a cork farm in Portugal. She went back there to live with her American husband who wanted to become a cork farmer, not really her choice. I was sorry to see her go.
