1. 1

   Roll the pastry out on a lightly floured board.

2. 2

   Trim to give a rectangle of about 12 inches by 5 inches.

3. 3

   Roll out the inner rectangle carefully, increasing its size to 12" by 5".

4. 4

   Lay it on a greased baking sheet and brush the edges with beaten egg.

5. 5

   Sprinkle the semolina evenly over the inside of this pastry case, then arrange the apricot quarters on top, snuggling them close together as they will shrink in the oven.

6. 6

   Sprinkle over flaked almonds and the sugar.

7. 7

   Place a baking sheet in the oven and heat to 425 F. Place the tart on the HOT baking sheet and bake for 15 minutes, then reduce heat to 375 F and bake for a further 10 to 15 minutes.

8. 8

   As soon as it is cooked, warm the honey in a small pan until runny and brush over the apricots.

9. 9

   Serve warm or cold.
