-
- 140 g Plain flour (5 oz) 1/2 ts Sugar
- 1 ts Baking powder 3 tb Milk
- 60 g Unsalted butter (2 1/4 oz) Butter and flour for the
- 1 ds Salt - tart tin
-
-
- 120 g Caster sugar (4 oz) 100 ml Good dry white wine (scant
- 1 ts Ground cinnamon - 1/4 pint)
- 10 g Plain flour (1/4 oz) 15 g Butter (approx. 1/2 oz)
-
- This a recipe from the Swiss district "Vaud": both the pastry and the
- filling are local specialities.
-
- Pre-heat the oven to 260 oC/500 oF. Lightly butter a tart tin with a
- removable base 20 cm (8 in) in diameter.
-
- Pastry: put the flour, baking powder and softened butter together in a
- large bowl. Add the salt and sugar. Rub all the ingredients together with
- your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse semolina. Add the milk
- and mix it in lightly and rapidly with your fingers, without exerting any
- pressure. Form the pastry into a ball, using it to collect all the loose
- flour. If need be, add another drop or two of milk.
-
- Do not let the pastry rest, but roll it out straight away to fit the
- prepared tart tin. The pastry should be only 3 mm (1/8 in) thick and
- should extend well beyond the rim. Ease the pastry into the base of the
- tin by pressing gently into the corners with a small ball of dough, but
- arrange for the spare pastry at the top of the tin to project as a little
- horizontal fold or lip about 1 cm (3/8 in) wide and 1 cm deep inside the
- tin. There is now much less spare pastry all round the outside of the tin.
- Press the pastry down on top of the rim with your thumb and trim it off
- neatly by rolling the pin across the tin.
-
- Press the fold of pastry inside the tin upwards (the rolling pin should
- have passed over it without touching it at all). Work fast, with your
- fingers inside the rim. You now have a border standing up all round the
- top of the tin, with the lower, outside edge firmly attached to the rim.
- Pinch this border between your finger and thumb with tweaking movements,
- at intervals of 1 cm (3/8 in) to make a little fluted edge all round the
- top of the tart.
-
- Mix the sugar, cinnamon and flour together. Strew this mixture all over
- the bottom of the tart. (This is a liquid filling so the bottom of the
- tart is not pricked with a fork). Pour the wine over the sugar mixture and
- mix it with your fingertips. Dot the surface with the butter, in flakes.
-
- Cook the tart in the bottom of the pre-heated oven for 15 ... 20 minutes,
- turning it from time to time to equalise the heat and to prevent bubbles
- forming.
-
- Leave the tart to cool before taking it out of the tin.
