I have been eyeing this tart for a while now. It has all the things that make me swoon. Strawberries, pistachios and of course butter. This was actually the first time I used browned butter and I think I may have taken it a tad too far. But no harm done, it still tasted good. And im having a slice while I type this so I can safely say it tastes as good the next day as well.
Recipe adapted from Cannelle et Vanille
Note- The pastry crust recipe I used makes enough for two 9inch tart pans so I halved it.
Pastry Crust
Scant ¾ cup powdered sugar
1 ¾ cup all purpose flour
115gms of cold butter
1egg+1 yolk, lightly beaten
-
Whisk together sugar and flour.
-
Rub butter into the flour mixture till course.
-
Make a well in the centre and add the eggs.
-
Mix well. Then knead lightly till the dough comes
together.
-
Flatten into a disk, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate
for min 2 hrs or overnight.
-
Lightly flour any cold surface and roll out the
dough to 1/8 inch thickness and fill tart mould.
-
Refrigerate till you prepare the filling.
