Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 180C/160C Fan/Gas 4.
- Roll the pastry out slightly thinner than a one pound coin, then stamp out twelve 9cm/3½in rounds and use to line a 12-hole non-stick patty tin. Place the tray of pastry discs in the fridge while you make the filling.
- Cream together the butter and sugar in a bowl until pale and fluffy. Beat in the egg, flour, ground almonds, nutmeg (or ground mace) and lemon zest. Stir in the curd cheese, being careful not to overwork the mixture as it can split.
- Spoon the mixture into the tart cases and bake for 25 minutes, or until risen and lightly browned on top. Transfer to a wire rack and leave to cool completely before serving.

- To make the pastry, put the flour and butter in a mixing bowl and rub together with your fingertips until you have a mixture that resembles coarse breadcrumbs. Add the icing sugar,egg and vanilla extract, if using, and bring together into adough. Tip the dough out onto a floured work surface and knead briefly until smooth. Wrap in clingfilm and chill for at least 30 minutes, or until needed.
- On a well-floured surface, roll out your dough until it is about 3mm thick; it will be quite sticky. Use a 7cm cutter to cut out 24 rounds and press them into the prepared tin.
- For the filling, whisk together all the ingredients until smooth. Fill the pastry cases with the mixture, so they are full but not overflowing – a dessertspoon or so in each should do it. You may have a little of the filling left over.
