B-day Tart

For my mother's birthday, I decided to make the Chez Panisse Almond Tart. Those fluted edges are thanks to my new tart pan.

If you like almonds and caramel, then you'll love this tart. It's a little on the sweet side, which makes it great paired with a cup of tea. I reduced the sugar by 1/4 which may have affected the end results. The filling was on the watery side and was sucked into the crust. Therefore, it didn't caramelize as much as it should have. Nevertheless, the sugars still hardened, making this an easily transported tart.
