Instructions
- To make the pastry, combine the butter, flour and icing sugar in the bowl of a food processor then pulse until the mixture resembles rough breadcrumbs.
- Add the egg yolks and with the motor running, add the ice water slowly. Mix until the pastry comes together in a soft but firm ball.
- Remove from the food processor then form into a disc before wrapping in cling wrap.
- Place in the fridge and allow to chill for 30-45 minutes.
- Pre-heat the oven to 180°c.
- When the pastry has chilled, remove from the fridge.
- Reserve a third of the pastry and roll out the rest on a floured surface. Place the rolled out pastry into a 22cm loose-bottomed tart case.
- Combine all the filling ingredients in a bowl then transfer to the pastry-lined tart case.
- To make the lattice topping, roll out the remaining pastry and cut into strips of around 1cm wide.
- Weave the pastry strips on top of the filling then brush with the beaten egg before placing in the oven.
- Bake for 30-45 minutes until the pastry is golden brown and crisp and the berries' juices are bubbling.
- Remove from the oven then allow to cool to room temperature before removing the tart from the pastry case
- Slice and serve.
