Ingredients
For the shell:
- 300 g flour
- 150 g butter
- 90 g sugar
- 2 eggs
- a pinch of salt
- 10 g baking powder
- 2 tsp lemon zest
- 1 tbsp lemon essence
For the filling:
- 500 g fresh or frozen berries I used a mixture of raspberries, currants and gooseberries
- 100 g sugar/sweetener of choice
- 1 tbsp starch
Optional for decoration:
- fresh mint
- powdered sugar
Instructions
- Mix the flour, butter, sugar, salt, baking powder, lemon zest and essence in a bowl. The dough will be crumbly. To homogenize it, add the first 2 eggs and knead until you get a firm dough. Let the dough chill for 30 minutes.
- Once the dough has chilled, roll it out into a thin irregular sheet on a baking sheet dusted with flour. Don't worry if the shape isn't perfect, that's the charm of rustic tarts.
- In a bowl, mix the fruit and sugar with a teaspoon of starch to prevent the juice from leaking out of the tart.
- Now comes the delicious part: Place the fruit In the middle of the dough, pressing it gently with a fork to level the filling. Leave a 5 cm (2 inches) space round the edge of the dough as these will be folded over the filling.
- Gently fold the edges of the dough over the filling.
- Bake for 45 minutes at 170°C/340°F in a preheated oven .
- Enjoy this tart warm with a big scoop of your favorite ice cream or decorated with fresh mint or powdered sugar.
