Tart with Black Cherry Jam
Ingredients:
- 300g of flour
- 150g cold butter, cut into cubes
- 100g of sugar
- 1 whole egg
- 1 egg yolk
- 1 pinch of salt
- 1 jar of Black Cherry Jam
Method:
Preparation of the pastry:
In a large bowl, mix the flour with the sugar and a pinch of salt.
Add the cold cubed butter and work with your fingertips until you obtain a sandy mixture.
Add the whole egg and yolk, mixing until a smooth mixture forms. If necessary, add a little cold water.
Form the dough into a ball, wrap it in cling film and let it rest in the fridge for at least 30 minutes.
Preparation of the Base:
Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Roll out 2/3 of the dough on a lightly floured surface until it is about 0.5cm thick.
Line a tart pan with the rolled out dough, cutting off any excess around the edges.
Tart filling:
Pour the Black Cherry Jam onto the base of the tart and distribute it evenly.
Decoration and Cooking:
With the remaining dough, roll out and cut thin strips.
Arrange the strips over the jam forming a lattice.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the tart is golden.
Service:
Let the tart cool completely before cutting and serving.
Suggestions:
- For an extra touch of flavor, you can add a dusting of icing sugar to the tart before serving.
- This tart is delicious on its own or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
