This Easter tart has a very long history possibly dating back to the 1600's. It's filled with a thin layer of apricot jam and a semolina and almond filling. We've decorated ours similar to how you would find them in bakeries today - with and icing sugar bunny. Simply make a stencil from baking paper, place on to the cooled tart and sieve icing sugar over the whole tart.
