Time 1h25m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 1/2 cups flour
2 teaspoons sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
11 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into chunks
1 egg yolk
3 tablespoons whole milk
4 cups fresh fruit, blueberries, blackberries, raspberries (apricots, peaches, pears, apples cutting larger fruits to size may also be used)
1/4 cup sugar
1 pinch salt
lemon zest or orange zest, about 1 teaspoon
3 tablespoons flour or 3 tablespoons quick-acting tapioca
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1 egg (for the egg wash)
raw sugar or brown sugar, to top the crust

Steps:

  • In a stand mixer, combine dry ingredients for crust and stir to mix. On low speed, add butter until the flour is crumbly and the butter is the size of peas.
  • Mix egg yolk and milk together then add to flour mixture until just combined (about 15 seconds).
  • Remove the mixture from the bowl and put on a floured surface. Knead quickly until it just comes together. The dough will be dotted with butter spots throughout. Tightly wrap in plastic wrap, refrigerate and let it rest for 15-20 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • In the meantime, in a large bowl toss together ingredients for the fruit filling; set aside.
  • Remove pastry ball from refrigerator and place on a floured surface or a floured Silpat. (Just rolling between 2 pieces of plastic wrap may be easier.) Place the plastic wrap on top of the dough ball and proceed to roll out until approximately 12 inches across and 1/8 inch thick. Transfer crust to a baking sheet.
  • Ladle filling in the center, leaving a few inches of dough around the edges and pull over the free edges on top of the fruit filling leaving the center exposed. Brush the dough edges with egg wash and top with sugar in the raw or brown sugar.
  • Cook for 55 minutes or until crust is browned and the fruit is bubbling.

Overall, I thought this tart was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either. I probably wouldn't make it again.

The crust on this tart was a bit too dry. I think I would have preferred it with more butter.

This tart was a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I would have preferred it with less sugar in the filling.

I'm not a huge fan of fruit tarts, but this one was really good. The crust was nice and crispy, and the fruit filling was sweet and flavorful. I would definitely make this again.
