Steps:
- If making the pastry by hand, rub the butter into the flour and icing sugar until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs, then stir in the beaten egg and bring together to form a dough. If making in a processor, combine the butter, flour and icing sugar in the bowl then process until the mixture resembles ground almonds. Pour in the beaten egg and pulse the blade until the dough starts to form a ball around the central stem. Form the pastry into a smooth flat cake, wrap in clingfilm and chill for 30 minutes or until manageable.
- Make the filling in the unwashed processor. Cream the butter and sugar together, then gradually add the beaten eggs (do not worry if it looks curdled at this stage). Scrape down the sides of the bowl with a spatula. Add the ground almonds, flour and almond extract. Process for a few seconds until well incorporated. Leave this mixture in the fridge until required.
- Roll out the chilled pastry on a lightly floured work surface and line a flan tin 28cm in diameter, about 2.5cm deep. If possible, chill for a further 30 minutes.
- Spoon the frangipane mixture into the pastry case and level the top using a small palette knife. Arrange the pear halves, cut side down, attractively on the filling. Be sure to leave enough room between them to allow the frangipane mixture to rise.
- Preheat the oven to 190C, gas 5 and put a heavy flat baking tray into the oven to preheat. Place the tart on the tray and bake for about 45–50 minutes until the almond filling and pastry are golden brown.
- OR to bake in an Aga, lift the tin on to a baking sheet and bake on the floor of the roasting oven until pale golden, about 15-20 minutes. Then transfer to the centre of the Baking Oven until set and golden brown, another 15–20 minutes. In a two-oven Aga, lift the tin onto a baking sheet and bake on the floor of the roasting oven for 15–20 minutes until pale golden. After this time, put the cold plain shelf on the second set of runners and continue to bake for a further 15–20 minutes until the almond filling is set and golden brown. If the pastry is becoming too dark, place a ring of foil around the edge.
- Cool slightly, brush with hot apricot glaze and sprinkle with toasted flaked almonds. Serve warm with cream or crème fraîche.

MARY BERRY EASY HOMEMADE DROP SCONES RECIPE (SCOTCH PANCAKES)
As seen on her BBC series, Classic, Mary Berry's easy-to-follow recipe for drop scones is a perfect brunch dish or tea-time treat.
Provided by Mary Berry
Yield Makes 18-24
Steps:
1. Measure the flour, baking powder and sugar into a large bowl and add the orange zest. Mix together, then make a well in the centre and add the egg and half the milk. Beat well, with a whisk, until you have a smooth thick batter, then beat in enough of the remaining milk to make a batter the consistency of thick pouring cream.
2. Heat a little oil in a large non-stick frying pan over a high heat. Drop the batter in dessertspoonfuls into the hot pan, spacing each dollop of the mixture well apart to allow it to spread. Cook for about 2 minutes or until bubbles start to appear on the surface, then turn over with a non-stick blunt-ended palette knife or spatula, and cook on the other side for a further 30–60 seconds or until lightly golden brown on both sides.
3. Use the palette knife to lift the scones on to a wire rack, then cover them with a clean tea towel to keep them soft and warm. Continue more scones in the same way with the remaining, adding a splash more oil if the pan gets too dry.
4. Serve at once spread with butter, syrup or honey, or with Greek yoghurt and blueberries or raspberries or other seasonal fruits.
Cook time: 2-3 minutes per batch.
Prepare Ahead:
Can be made up to 6 hours ahead and reheated to serve. Arrange in a single layer on a baking tray, cover tightly with foil and warm through in a moderate oven for about 10 minutes.
Freeze: The drop scones freeze well (see tip); defrost and warm through as above.
Mary’s Classic Tip:
* Before freezing the drop pancakes, wrap them in greaseproof paper and pack in a freezer-proof container to prevent them getting damaged edges.

MARY BERRY QUICK CHICKEN CURRY | EASY LOCKDOWN RECIPE
From thehappyfoodie.co.uk
Cuisine Indian
Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a deep frying pan. Season the chicken strips and brown quickly all over until sealed (you may need to do this in batches adding the third tablespoon of oil, if needed). Remove with a slotted spoon to a plate.
Add the onions and fry for a few minutes, then cover, lower the heat and fry for 10 minutes, until softened.
Remove the lid, increase the heat and add the ginger root, garlic and chilli and fry for 1 minute. Sprinkle in the ground spices and fry for a few minutes more. Sprinkle over the flour then stir in the stock and bring to the boil, until thickened.
Add the mango chutney and return the chicken to the pan. Season with salt and pepper. Lower the heat, cover and simmer for 5-10 minutes or until the chicken is tender. Add the yoghurt or cream and serve hot.
The curry can be made without adding the yoghurt up to a day ahead. Reheat gently to serve and stir in the yoghurt. The curry also freezes well without the yoghurt. Simply reheat as above when needed.
If using an Aga, first soften the onion in the simmering oven for 15 minutes. Add the chicken and return to the same oven for 10 minutes. Continue on the boiling plate.
