   • Alternatively, you can make the pastry in a food processor.

   • Combine all the pastry ingredients (except one egg) and 2 tsp of water.

   • Pulse until they come together into a dough.

   • Wrap the pastry in cling film and refrigerate for about half an hour (you can also freeze it for up to a month).

2. Blind Baking the Pastry:

   • Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F).
   • Roll out the pastry between two floured pieces of cling film.
   • Line a 23cm tart tin with the rolled pastry, then place a piece of greaseproof paper on top.
   • Fill the tin with baking beans and freeze the pastry case until solid.
   • Place the pastry case in the preheated oven on a baking sheet.
   • After 15 minutes, remove the paper and beans carefully.
   • Brush the inside of the pastry with the remaining beaten egg (this prevents leaks).
   • Return the pastry to the oven and bake for an additional 5 minutes until golden.

3. Making the Filling:

   • Melt the 1/2 cup of butter and allow it to cool slightly.
   • In a separate bowl, beat the 4 eggs and stir in the sugar.
   • Mix in the cooled melted butter.

4. Assembling the Tart:

   • Scatter half of the chopped almonds over the base of the pre-baked pastry.
   • Arrange the chopped prunes evenly over the almonds.
   • Pour the prepared filling over the prunes, ensuring an even distribution.
   • Sprinkle the remaining chopped almonds on top.

5. Baking the Tart:

   • Bake the assembled tart in the preheated oven for 20 to 30 minutes, or until the filling is set and the top is golden.
   • Once baked, remove from the oven and allow it to cool slightly.
   • Dust the top with icing sugar before serving.

6. Serving Suggestions:

   • Serve the Prune and Nut Tart hot, warm, or cold.
