I can guarantee that you'll fall in love with this one as it's one of my favourite dessert recipes and it's a true tasty delight in any season. The traditional French batter mixes wonderfully with plenty of fruit jam and makes it very hard to stop at just one serve.
Ingredients:
- 140g butter
- 120g sugar
- 4 egg yolks
- 400g flour
- 350g strawberry jam/ 300g sliced fresh fruit
Start by cutting the butter into small chunks of 1cm and make sure all your ingredients have stayed at room temperature for at least 1 hour. Gently mix the butter with sugar using a wooden spoon or a mixer until it has the consistency of thick cream. Add one egg yolk at a time and mix until it has blended in with your batter. Once you've added the 4th egg yolk, pour your sifted flour into the large bowl and mix for another minute. Transfer onto a clean surface and shape it into a round ball. Cover in cling film, allowing it to rest in the fridge for at least 30 minutes.
Cover a 23cm round baking tin with parchment paper and roll out 3/4 of the pastry to line the tart tin. Add the jam or sliced fruit with some sprinkled sugar on top and press the margins of the pastry down with a fork. The remaining 1/4 of pastry is rolled out and cut into long strips of 1cm: lay 4 strips across the top of the filing in the same direction and the remaining 3 strips crossways in order to create a lattice. Seal with water and brush the top with beaten egg. Bake for 25-30 minutes in a 180C oven or until golden. Enjoy!
Bon Appetit!
