Tart Pastry
- 1 1⁄4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 pinch salt
- 1⁄4 cup confectioners' sugar
- 6 tablespoons butter, diced
- 2 egg yolks
- freshly grated orange zest (from 1 orange)
- 1 tablespoon egg white, lightly beaten
directions
- Pastry:.
- Sift the flour, salt and confectioners' sugar into a bowl. Rub in the butter using your fingertips until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs. Mix together the egg yolks and orange zest, add to the dry ingredients and mix to a soft dough.
- Knead the pastry with our fingertips on a lightly floured work surface for a few seconds until smooth. Wrap in plastic wrap and chill for 30 minutes.
- Roll out the pastry and use to line a fluted 9-inch quiche pan. Wrap in plastic wrap and chill for 30 minutes. Put a baking sheet in the oven and prehat to 400°F.
- Prick the base of the pastry with a fork and line with foil and ceramic baking weights (or dry beans). Place on the hot baking sheet and bake for 10 minutes.
- Remove the foil and beans and bake the pastry for 5 minutes more.
- Lightly brush the base and sides of the pastry with egg white, then return to the oven for 3-4 minutes. Lower the oven temperature to 325°F.
- Custard:.
- Halve the vanilla bean lengthwise. Place in a small pan with the cream. Slowly bring to a boil, then remove the vanilla bean.
- In a large bowl, whisk the egg and egg yolks with the sugar until pale. Slowly whisk in the hot cream.
- Arrange the raspberries in the pastry. Pour the custard over the raspberries, then bake for 20 minutes, or until very lightly set. Place on a wire rack to cool, still in the tin. Chill for at least 4 hours, or overnight if possible.
- To add the brulee topping, first protect the edges of the pastry with pieces of foil. Dredge a thin layer of confectioners' sugar over the custard. Broil for 1 minute, or until the sugar melts and turns golden. Do not over bake/broil or the custard will separate. Chill for 10 minutes before serving.

I love cooking for family and friends. I especially enjoy baking...it is like combining art and science to create something extraordinary.
I am most known for making desserts like Recipe #336060. My pet peeve: when people sign-up to bring dessert to a pot-luck or dinner party and they bring something pre-made from the store. My friends and family now know to always let me bring the dessert. :)
I enjoy traveling and believe that one of the best ways to experience a culture is through food. I have lived in Germany, Spain and Switzerland, and currently live in the US.
My rating system:
5 stars - Excellent! Delicious! Could not be better...will make often.
4 stars - Very good! May tweak slightly.
3 stars - Good base recipe. Will need to tweak.
2 stars - Ok. Will keep looking.
