Crush the 175g digestive biscuits into fine crumbs; a large resealable freezer bag and a rolling pin work well here. Melt the 75g butter in a small pan, then add the biscuit crumbs and stir until they're fully coated.
Tip the buttered crumbs into your tart tin and use the back of a spoon to press them firmly over the base and up the sides, creating an even layer. Chill this base in the fridge while you prepare the frangipane filling.
Cream together the 75g salted butter and 75g caster sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy. If you're using a food processor, let it run for 2-3 minutes to get the right texture.
Mix in the 2 beaten eggs, then add the 75g ground almonds and 1 teaspoon almond extract. Blend everything until it's well combined and smooth.
