Maple Tart
This Maple Tart is sweet, rich, and simply irresistible. The blend of flavors will have your taste buds dancing with joy!
Ingredients:
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- 1 egg yolk
- 3-4 tablespoons cold water
- 1 cup pure maple syrup
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Salt, a pinch
Instructions:
- First, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, and a pinch of salt. Add the cold cubed butter and mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Add the egg yolk and cold water, mixing until it forms a dough. If it’s too crumbly, add a little more cold water.
- Shape the dough into a disk, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for about 30 minutes.
- Once chilled, roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface and fit it into your tart pan. Prick the bottom of the crust with a fork.
- Bake for 15 minutes, then remove from the oven and let it cool slightly.
- While the crust is cooling, prepare the filling by whisking together the maple syrup, heavy cream, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Pour the maple filling into the cooled tart shell and bake for an additional 25-30 minutes, or until the filling is set and slightly puffed.
- Let it cool completely before serving—trust me, it’ll be worth the wait!
And there you have it, folks! A beautiful Maple Tart that’s perfect for your next dessert spread. Enjoy the sweetness and share it with your loved ones. Happy baking!
