Crust
- salt = 3 grams
- cinnamon = 2 grams
- vanilla = 3 grams
- I suggest using below method when you par bake this crust
- instead of beans or baking stones I always use granulated sugar/ it gets into all the groves for an even bake/ BONUS the almost caramel flavour sugar can be used in any recipe to add some depth of flavour
- always chill the pastry for a minimum of 1 hr prior to baking
The Filling

- cinnamon = 2 grams
- salt = 3 grams
- milk = 45ml
- I added 1 tablespoon/15 ml of amaretto
Almonds
I used blanched almond slices, next time I will use almonds with their skins on. Almonds in their skin tend to have a heartier, nuttier flavor, so if you want to taste more of the almond, opt for unblanched sliced almonds.
Finishing Touch

NOTE
I had to bake my tart an extra 10 min to get a nice caramelization.
