This is a recipe I got from a neighbor when we were living in England. It's like a marzipan and sooo easy.

How To Make frangipani flan (tart)

Step 1

Make a pastry case (or use store-bought) to line a 7 inch removable bottom tart pan and place the pastry in the tart pan.

Step 2

Spread the jam on the uncooked pastry case. Sometimes I add a tad more jam if it looks skimpy. You need a very thin layer, however.
Step 3

Cream the butter and sugar in a small bowl.
Step 4

Beat in the egg, then,
Step 5

Stir in the ground almonds, almond essence and flour.
Step 6

Transfer filling mixture to the tart case, spreading evenly.
Step 7

Bake in the center of a 325 degree oven for about 30 minutes.
Step 8

Place on rack to cool; remove ring and frost with the icing.
Step 9

Sprinkle sliced or slivered almonds on icing for garnish
