these were  delicious tarts that I have prepared very quickly for the children, but they were gone  as soon as I made them.

Using a hand mixer, whisk the eggs with about half  of  the sugar until you get a pale, yellow foam. It'll take about 5-6 minutes. The consistency must be very airy. Add the vanilla extract. Set aside.
Cream the butter with the other half of  sugar. Pour in the egg mixture. Add the almond powder and the flour. Mix until the batter is smooth.
