RASPBERRY TART

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
• In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, mix the butter and sugar together until they are just combined. Add the vanilla. In a medium bowl, sift together the flour and salt, then add them to the butter-and-sugar mixture. Mix on low speed until the dough starts to come together. Dump onto a surface dusted with flour and shape into a flat disk. Press the dough into a 10-inch-round or 9-inch-square false-bottom tart pan, making sure that the finished edge is flat. Chill until firm.
• Butter one side of a square of aluminum foil to fit inside the tart and place it, buttered side down, on the pastry. Fill with beans or rice. Bake for 20 minutes. Remove the foil and beans, prick the tart all over with the tines of a fork, and bake again for 20 to 25 minutes more, or until lightly browned. Allow to cool to room temperature.
• Spread the tart with raspberry preserves and place the raspberries, stem end down, in concentric circles. If you are making a square tart, place the raspberries in rows. Serve immediately.

FRESH RASPBERRY AND BLUEBERRY TARTS

Steps:

• To make Tart Dough: In a food processor bowl, add all ingredients. Continue to pulse in processor. Remove dough and knead with a little bit of flour until a smooth ball forms. Wrap in plastic and cool for 1 hour.
• To make Filling: Combine all ingredients gently.
• To make Crumb Topping: Combine all ingredients in a food processor, until crumbly.
• To make Lavender Creme Fraiche: Mix all ingredients well.
• Heat oven to 400 degrees F.
• Grease 24 mini muffin cups. Roll dough out on work board to less than 1/4-inch in thickness. Cut into 2 1/2-inch diameter circles. Place dough rounds inside muffin cups.
• Place berry mixture inside the shells and add crumb topping. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes.
• Serve with lavender creme fraiche.

RED, WHITE AND BLUE TARTS

Steps:

• Like miniature shortcakes, these tarts are easy to prepare in advance. If you intend to serve them outdoors in warm weather, serve the whipped cream on the side.
• For the dough, beat the butter and sugar with the paddle on medium speed until very soft and light. Beat in the vanilla and the yolk and continue beating until smooth and shiny, about 3 more minutes. Stop the mixer, sift the cake flour and add to the butter mixture. Pulse the mixer on and off to incorporate the flour. Scrape the dough onto a piece of plastic, wrap and chill it until firm. Roll the chilled cookie dough 1/8-inch thick on a floured surface. Line 4-inch tart pans with the disks of dough. Fill the tart shell with dried beans and bake at 325 degrees about 25 to 20 minutes, until pale golden. Cool off the pans. Remove from pans and remove beans. Arrange on a clean, paper-covered pan. Whip the cream with the sugar until it holds its shape. Spread jam in the bottom of the tart shells. Make alternating concentric rows of raspberries, blueberries and piped rosettes of whipped cream in the tart shells. Pipe the whipped cream with a pastry bag fitted with a 1/2-inch star tube (Ateco #4). Serve the rest of the cream on the side.

BLUEBERRY-RASPBERRY MUFFINS WITH STREUSEL TOPPING

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a standard 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
• To make the topping, in a medium bowl, mix together the topping ingredients until crumbly. Set aside.
• In a bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
• In a large bowl, beat the eggs with the melted butter. Add the buttermilk and lemon zest and whisk to combine. Add the dry ingredients to the wet and stir just to combine. (Batter will still be somewhat lumpy; do not overmix.) Gently fold in the blueberries and raspberries so the berries do not break open and pour into the prepared muffin tin. Crumble the streusel topping over the muffins and bake until golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 20 minutes.
• Let cool in the tins for 10 minutes, then remove and cool on wire racks.

RASPBERRY TART

Steps:

• Lightly flour a clean work surface. Using a rolling pin, gently roll out dough into a rectangle at least 9 by 18 inches and 1/8 inch thick, being careful not to press too hard around the edges. Using a pastry wheel or sharp paring knife, trim edges, and cut out four 1-inch strips, 2 from one of the short ends and 1 from each of the long sides. Set aside. The resulting rectangle should be about 6 by 15 inches. Transfer to a baking sheet.
• Dock, or pierce, the dough all over with a fork. Using a pastry brush, moisten dough with beaten egg, being careful not to let any drip down over the cut edges.
• Lay reserved 1-inch strips on top of the edges of the large rectangle, positioning them to line up exactly with the outside edge; this will be the raised border that will encase the filling. Trim strips to fit, overlapping them at the corners; brush egg wash underneath each of the four overlapping corners to seal them together. Brush tops of strips with egg wash, being careful not to let any drip down the sides. Cover with plastic wrap, and place in refrigerator to chill 1 hour.
• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Transfer tart shell to oven, and bake until well browned and puffed all over, about 15 minutes. Remove from oven; using a balled-up clean kitchen towel, press down on the center, leaving the borders puffy. Return to oven; bake 5 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool. Press down again, if needed.
• When tart shell is completely cooled, place pastry cream in a medium bowl. In a separate mixing bowl, whip heavy cream until soft peaks form; fold into pastry cream. Using a small offset spatula, spread cream mixture over bottom of tart shell. Arrange raspberries neatly in rows on top of cream mixture to cover bottom of tart. Dust with confectioners' sugar; cut into strips, and serve.

RASPBERRY BRULEE TART

Steps:

• Pastry:.
• Sift the flour, salt and confectioners' sugar into a bowl. Rub in the butter using your fingertips until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs. Mix together the egg yolks and orange zest, add to the dry ingredients and mix to a soft dough.
• Knead the pastry with our fingertips on a lightly floured work surface for a few seconds until smooth. Wrap in plastic wrap and chill for 30 minutes.
• Roll out the pastry and use to line a fluted 9-inch quiche pan. Wrap in plastic wrap and chill for 30 minutes. Put a baking sheet in the oven and prehat to 400°F.
• Prick the base of the pastry with a fork and line with foil and ceramic baking weights (or dry beans). Place on the hot baking sheet and bake for 10 minutes.
• Remove the foil and beans and bake the pastry for 5 minutes more.
• Lightly brush the base and sides of the pastry with egg white, then return to the oven for 3-4 minutes. Lower the oven temperature to 325°F.
• Custard:.
• Halve the vanilla bean lengthwise. Place in a small pan with the cream. Slowly bring to a boil, then remove the vanilla bean.
• In a large bowl, whisk the egg and egg yolks with the sugar until pale. Slowly whisk in the hot cream.
• Arrange the raspberries in the pastry. Pour the custard over the raspberries, then bake for 20 minutes, or until very lightly set. Place on a wire rack to cool, still in the tin. Chill for at least 4 hours, or overnight if possible.
• To add the brulee topping, first protect the edges of the pastry with pieces of foil. Dredge a thin layer of confectioners' sugar over the custard. Broil for 1 minute, or until the sugar melts and turns golden. Do not over bake/broil or the custard will separate. Chill for 10 minutes before serving.

RASPBERRY, LEMON & FRANGIPANE TART

Steps:

• To make the pastry, put the flour and butter in a large bowl and rub them together with your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse breadcrumbs. Tip in the sugar, lemon zest and a pinch of salt and mix slightly. Now work in the egg yolk and vanilla extract until you have a smooth dough. Roll the dough into a ball, wrap in cling film and chill for at least 1 hour (or up to 2 days).
• While the pastry is chilling, make the lemon crème pâtissière (lemon custard). Put the egg yolks and sugar in a bowl and whisk together using a balloon whisk for 1-2 minutes until the mixture turns pale. Tip in the flour and cornflour and mix well. Put the milk and lemon zest in a saucepan and bring to the boil. Pour the boiling milk over the mixture in the bowl, whisking continuously until everything is smooth.
• Pour the custard into the pan, place over a medium heat and simmer for 2 minutes, stirring continuously until it has thickened. Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the lemon juice and butter. Pour the custard into a clean bowl and cover the surface with cling film to stop a skin forming. Leave to cool, then put in the fridge until completely cold. (The custard will keep in the fridge for up to 2 days.)
• To make the frangipane (almond cream), tip all the ingredients into a bowl and mix until everything is well combined. (The frangipane will keep in the fridge for up to 4 days.)
• On a floured surface, roll out the chilled pastry to the thickness of a £1 coin, then use to line a 25cm loose-bottomed tart tin. Trim the pastry with a small knife but leave a lip hanging over the edge. Chill the tart case for at least 1 hour - if you have room to put it in the freezer, this would be ideal.
• Put a baking tray in the oven and preheat the oven to fan 180C/ conventional 200C/gas 6. Using a spatula, stir the crème pâtissière until smooth, then spread three quarters of it over the base of the tart case.
• Spoon the frangipane into a piping bag fitted with a smallish nozzle (about 1cm). If you don't have a piping bag, spoon the mixture into a tough plastic bag, squeeze it into the end, then cut off the tip. Pipe lines of frangipane evenly over the custard. Don't worry about the gaps, as the frangipane will spread while cooking.
• Put the tart tin on the hot baking tray and bake for 30-40 minutes until the frangipane is golden brown and the pastry is biscuity brown. The frangipane will puff up during the baking. Trim off the overhanging pastry with a small knife to give a professional finish. Lift the tart and base from the tin and leave on a wire rack to cool completely.
• To make the topping, put the cream in a bowl and lightly whip until billowy. Using a spatula, gently fold the remaining crème pâtissière into the cream, then spread the mixture evenly over the frangipane.
• Arrange the raspberries on top, placing them upside down in concentric circles as closely as possible. Put the jam and kirsch in a small pan and bring to the simmer, stirring, until it lightly coats the back of the spoon. Using a pastry brush, gently brush the raspberries with the glaze. Cool slightly, then, using a palette knife, ease the tart off the base on to a serving plate.
