📝 Ingredients (serves 6):
For the pastry:
🌾 250 g (2 cups) T45 flour, sifted
🍬 125 g (1 cup) powdered sugar
🧈 100 g (7 tablespoons) softened butter
🥚 70 g (1 1/2 large eggs)
🧂 2 g (1/4 teaspoon) salt
For the filling:
🍓 150 g (1/2 cup) red berry jam
🍓 250 g (9 oz) strawberries, hulled and sliced
🍬 30 g (2 tablespoons) sugar
📋 Directions:
🌾 Prepare the Sweet Pastry:
In a stand mixer with the paddle attachment, cream the softened butter and powdered sugar on low speed for 15 seconds.
Add the flour, salt, and eggs. Mix until the dough is smooth and uniform.
Shape the dough into a ball, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
🍓 Make the Berry Compote:
In a saucepan, cook the strawberries and sugar over low-medium heat, stirring occasionally, until softened and jammy.
Loosen the red berry jam by stirring it with a spoon, then combine it with the compote. Mix well and set aside.
🔥 Preheat the Oven:
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) in convection mode, with a rack positioned in the middle.
🧈 Prepare the Tart Base:
Butter a 9-inch tart pan.
Roll out three-quarters of the dough on a floured surface and use it to line the tart pan. Trim the excess dough and chill the tart shell briefly in the refrigerator.
🌾 Make the Lattice:
Roll out the remaining dough and cut it into 1 cm-wide strips. Twist the strips gently to create a decorative pattern.
🍓 Assemble the Tart:
Remove the tart shell from the refrigerator and fill it with the jam-compote mixture.
Lay the twisted dough strips over the filling in a crisscross pattern to create a lattice. Trim any excess dough from the edges.
🔥 Bake the Tart:
Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and cooked through.
❄️ Cool and Serve:
Let the tart cool completely before serving. Slice and enjoy the perfect harmony of buttery crust and sweet-tart berry filling!
