Notes: This one is in our larger dish so is made using the same recipe and quantity as Mary Berry's pastry .  Makes 8 jam tarts additional or could be pastry decoration on top.  The egg white was added to the beaten egg to scale that up.  So ingredients were:

• 92g? caster sugar and rice - should use less rice next time?
• 46g almond

Christmas 17, did  equal sugar, marg, almond, like here: https://www.bbc.co.uk/food/recipes/marys_bakewell_tart_12584.

Worked v well
