With my busy family of five, I’m always burning things in the oven because I get pulled into other tasks. But the air fryer, with its time-controlled powers, has been a godsend. Now when the inevitable family emergency pops up, I don\u2019t have to worry about setting off the smoke alarm! My British heritage means I grew up on tea and Bakewell tarts. This easy rendition uses similar components of the iconic tart, but it’s easier for bustling families to make.

These were okay but not great. One-quarter inch is too thick for both the pie crust and the almond paste. I rolled out the almond paste as thin as I could get it without tearing. That seemed about right. I made then made three batches. For the first, I rolled the pie crust to a bit thinner than it\u2019s original. That worked, but there wasn\u2019t enough resistance biting into the cooked pastry. For the second batch, I didn\u2019t roll the crust out at all. That one had better mouth feel. For the last batch, I kneaded the scraps together and rolled them out to a bit thicker than the original thickness. That was also good, maybe better, but I don\u2019t think I\u2019d want to knead and then re-roll a new crust.<\/p>","reviewRating":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Rating","ratingValue":3,"worstRating":1,"bestRating":5}}]},"video":{"data":{"status":204},"message":"No shortcode found in recipe"},"rms_legacy_id":"271018","romance_copy_dek":"With my busy family of five, I'm always burning things in the oven because I get pulled into other tasks.
