Preheat the oven to 200�C.

First line a flan dish with shortcrust pastry - see recipe for Shortcrust Pastry or buy ready made. Spread a thin layer of raspberry (or other) jam over the base of the pastry. Cream the butter or margarine and sugar and then gradually beat in the eggs until fluffy. Add the ground almonds and the almond essence and beat well. Spoon the mixture over the pastry.

Notes

The top tends to get very brown or burn so check it and turn down the oven temperature if necessary.
