- Crust
- 1 cup soft butter
- 1/2 cup sugar, softened

- Almond Filling
- 2 eggs, beaten until foamy
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 1/2 cups finely ground almonds (or almond paste)
- Lightly grease bottom of small muffin tins. Can use regular size muffin tin, but will reduce the amount of tarts produced with no affects to flavor.
- Crust:.
- Cream butter and sugar until light. Beat in egg, vanilla and flour.
- Drop a rounded teaspoon of crust mixture into each greased small muffin cup, pressing batter over bottom and up around sides, leaving inside hollow; a coating 1/4 inch thick.
- Almond Filling:.
- With electric mixer, gradually add sugar to beaten eggs, beating until incorporated. Fold in ground almonds (or almond paste) and divide equally over crust.
- Bake until set and browned at 325 degrees 25 to 30 minutes.
