Place all of the dry pastry ingredients into a bowl and mix well.

Add the margarine rub into the flour using your finger tips.

Add 1/2 tsp milk at a time until it forms a pastry dough - mix well between each drop of milk - pastry needs very little fluid.

Cover a place in the fridge for 30 minutes or until you need it.

Grease and flour a flapjack oven tin.

Break the gluten free pastry into 3 pieces and press each piece into the baking tin.

Use a spoon to make the edges even.

Place all of the almond filling ingredients into a mixing bowl except the tablespoon of corn flour.

Mix well then add the corn flour, mix well again.

Spread strawberry jam on top of the pastry.

Spread the almond filling on top of the jam.

Bake in a hot oven at gas mark 7 for 40-50 minutes.

Once cooked remove from the oven and leave in the tray for 5-10 minutes.

Cut the strawberry almond slice into 4 then remove each section from the tray onto a wire rack.

Leave to cool fully.

Once strawberry almond slice is cool brush with a thin icing and sprinkle with flaked almonds.
