Rubarb tart

Spring is finally here, cherry trees opening their blossoms, and rubarb’s season begins for our biggest pleasure. There there, a little tart!

The Ingredients

For the pastry:
– 250g flour
– 100g butter
– 1 egg
– 100 g sugar
– 1 pinch of salt
– 1 organic lemon

For the garnishing:
– 4 long pieces of rubarb
– 1 egg
– 15 cl liquid cream
– 40g of almond powder
– 50 g sugar

The Recipe

1. Cut the rubarb into cubes, place it in a bowl and sprinkle sugar on it.
2. Put the flour in a salad bowl and make a sort of hole in it. In another bowl, mix the sugar, salt and egg.
3. Pour this mixture into the flour with the lemon zest, and mix.
4. Add the butter (soft not melted) into little pieces, and knead firmly with your hands.
5. Make a ball and spread it with a rolling pin. Put it into a buttered tart mold.
6. In a bowl, mix the sugar, cream, almond powder and cream. Mix it with the rubarb and place everything onto the pastry.
7. Bake for about 45 minutes at 200°C (T 7).
