Preheat oven to 200c with rack in middle.

Roll out the short crust pastry to about 2-3 mm onto a sheet of baking paper, you will need to have a baking tray which will fit the size of your tart.  This process can be done free form or you can press the pastry into a fluted tin or spring form cake tin for flexibility when serving.

Combine the almond meal and the custard together in a bowl until smooth. Spread this onto your sheet of pastry and then press the rhubarb into the mixture.

When all of the rhubarb has been laid down onto the mixture, fold over the pastry onto the rhubarb pressing the pastry down gently as you go. Sprinkle the tart with the almond flakes. Brush the top of the border with egg wash and sprinkle with large crystal brown sugar.
