     Title: ALMOND AND HONEY CAKES
Categories: Cakes, Candies
     Yield: 8 servings

   250 g  Sweet flan pastry
          Butter; for the tart tin
          Flour; for the tart tin
    20 g  Apricot jelly; for glazing

----------------------------------FILLING----------------------------------
   125 g  Sugar
   125 g  Slivered almonds
    90 g  Unsalted butter
    35 g  Honey
     2 tb Double cream
    50 g  Crystallised fruits
          -- chopped
          Kirsch

 (Units: 100 g = 3 1/2 oz; 1 dl = 3 1/2 fl oz = 2/5 cup; 180°C = 350°F;
 200°C = 400°F; 230°C = 450°F; 250°C = 475°F; 2.5 cm = 1 inch)

 Preparation:

 Pre-heat the oven to 200°C. Butter and flour a tart tin with a removable
 base 22 cm in diameter.

 Roll out the pastry to fit the tart tin. Line the tin with the pastry and
 prick the bottom all over with a fork. Bake it for 10 minutes at the bottom
 of the pre-heated oven. Leave the pastry shell in the tin.

 Cooking:

 Lightly brush a thin layer of apricot glaze over the bottom of the pastry
 shell.

 Put all the remaining ingredients for the filling into a saucepan and heat
 them gently, stirring to mix them well as they melt.

 Raise the oven to 210°C. When the filling is melted, spread it in a thin
 layer on the glazed pastry shell.

 Cook it for about 15 minutes: it is ready when the filling begins to
 bubble.

 Leave the cake to cool in its tin, then take it out.

 Serving:

 Cut the cake into little triangles or rectangular pieces. Serve them with
 coffee, like 'petits fours'.
