Tarts are special treats that show off summer fruits so sweetly. The pastry is rich, tender and crunchy, almost like a cookie. I use it for every type of tart I can think of. âLeanne Wheless, Borger, Texas Ingredients:
3-1/3 cups king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
1/4 cup sugar |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1 cup cold butter, cubed |
1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons cold water |
2 egg yolks |
filling: |
2/3 cup sugar |
2 tablespoons cornstarch |
dash salt |
1 cup water |
1 can (29 ounces) sliced peaches, drained |
1 teaspoon lemon juice |
whipped cream, optional |
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar and salt; cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add water and egg yolks; stir until dough forms a ball.
2. Divide into eight portions; press onto the bottom and up the sides of eight 4-in. tart pans. Bake at 400° for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown. Cool on wire racks.
3. For filling, in a large saucepan, combine the sugar, cornstarch and salt. Stir in water until smooth. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Remove from the heat. Stir in peaches and lemon juice.
4. Spoon into tart shells. Chill until serving. Garnish with whipped cream if desired. Yield: 8 servings.
