Yesterday afternoon, I was in need of a slow, calm bake. I'd had a busy couple of weeks and just wanted to spend some time, weighing out my ingredients and methodically working through a recipe. I find it really helps me when I'm feeling anxious or overwhelmed. I'd had this recipe from Jane's Patisserie saved as one I wanted to try, so thought it would be perfect day to do it. I have adapted the original recipe slightly. The original recipe has 250g butter, 1 tsp of almond extract, 250g jam and 50g flaked almonds which worked well when I first made them. But, when I've made them since, I use 1/2 tsp almond extract as the flavour is so strong. I use less jam on top as using the full 250g made them too sickly sweet. I think about 3 tablespoons would be plenty, swirled through the mixture. And, depending on how nutty about nuts you are, you could use less flaked almonds on top. Let me know if you give this a go! Ingredients: 200g butter (melted) 125g granulated sug
