Frangipane is a classic French filling made with ground almonds, butter, sugar, and eggs. It is commonly used in tarts and pastries, but can also be used as a filling for cakes and other desserts. Frangipane has a rich, nutty flavor that pairs well with a variety of fruits, such as apples, pears, and berries. It can also be flavored with extracts like vanilla, almond, or citrus to add extra depth to its flavor. While frangipane is a decadent treat, it can be made healthier by using almond flour or reducing the amount of butter and sugar in the recipe.

4.	Add the white sugar and flour and mix until just combined.
5.	Press the mixture into a 9-inch tart pan with a removable bottom.

7.	Remove from the oven and let cool before serving.
