Peach and chestnut Tart

It’s funny how accidents can finally reveal some nice findings. I was starting my tart’s preparation the other day when…not enough butter, and no flour left. I finally found some chestnut flour which I decided to use without conviction. Well my friends, this was pretty good, not bad at all.

The Ingredients

– 100g flour
– 150g chestnut flour

– 80g butter
– 1 egg
– 90 g sugar
– 1 pinch of salt

– 1 lemon

– 5 peaches

The Recipe

Put the flour in a salad bowl and make a sort of hole in it. In another bowl, mix the sugar, salt and egg.
Pour this mixture into the flour with the lemon zest, and mix.
Add the butter (soft not melted) into little pieces, and knead firmly with your hands.
Make a ball and spread it with a rolling pin. Put it into a buttered tart mold.
Cut the peaches into quarters and put them on the paste like a spiral. Sprinkle with almonds.
Bake for about 30 minutes at T.7 (180℃)
