OLD-FASHIONED RASPBERRY TART

Steps:

• Unwrap the dough and place it on a floured work surface. Knead it lightly to soften it slightly, then form it into a disk. Flour the dough and roll it to an 11- to 12-inch disk. Fold the dough in half and transfer it to the pan, lining up the fold with the diameter of the pan. Unfold the dough into the pan and press it well into the bottom and sides. Sever the excess dough at the rim of the pan with a bench scraper or the back of a paring knife. Refrigerate the tart crust until you are ready to bake it.
• For the pastry cream filling, combine the milk and half the sugar in a small nonreactive saucepan. Bring to a boil over low heat. Combine the remaining sugar and the flour in a small mixing bowl and whisk well to mix. Whisk in the eggs, one at a time. When the milk boils, whisk about a third of it into the egg mixture. Return the remaining milk to a boil over low heat and add in the egg mixture in a stream, whisking constantly until the pastry cream thickens and comes to a boil-large bubbles will burst slowly on the surface. Cook, whisking constantly, for about 20 seconds. Off the heat whisk in the vanilla and butter. Scrape the pastry cream into a glass or stainless steel bowl and press plastic wrap directly against the surface. Refrigerate the pastry cream until it is time to assemble the tart.
• To bake the tart shell, set a rack in the middle level of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees. Remove the unbaked tart crust from the refrigerator and pierce it all over at ½-inch intervals with the tines of a fork. Bake the crust for about 15 minutes, or until it is a very light golden color. If you bake the crust too long, it will be very hard.
• Cool the baked crust on a rack.
• When you are ready to assemble the tart, spread the chilled pastry cream on the bottom of the tart crust, using a small metal offset spatula. Arrange the raspberries on the pastry cream (I just pile them on every which way rather than making straight rows). Unmold the tart. Right before serving, dust with all the confectioners' sugar.
• Serving: This beautiful tart needs no further adornment.

MOTHER'S RASPBERRY TART

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In the bowl of a food processor, combine the flour, salt and brown sugar and pulse to combine. Add the butter and pulse until the mixture resembles coarse meal. Add the egg yolks and continue to pulse until the mixture pulls away from the sides of the bowl.
• Press the dough into the bottom and about 1/2 inch up the sides of a buttered 9-inch tart pan with a removable bottom. Bake until light brown, about 25 to 30 minutes. Remove from the oven and cool on a wire rack.
• Select 10 pretty raspberries for garnishing the cake and set them aside. Place the rest of the raspberries with their juice in a saucepan and add the granulated sugar. Cook over medium heat, stirring, until the mixture boils. Combine the cornstarch with 1 tablespoon water and stir it into the boiling fruit. Cook, stirring, until the mixture thickens slightly, about 3 minutes. Remove from the heat.
• Remove the rim of the tart pan and pour the fruit into the cooled shell. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for several hours or until set. Garnish with the reserved berries and serve with whipped cream, if desired.

RUSTIC LEMON-RASPBERRY TART

Steps:

• Crust: In a med-sized metal bowl, combine flour, salt and baking powder. Add butter and cut into flour with pastry cutter until crumbs form and it resembles a course meal. Sprinkle with vinegar and water and knead gently until dough forms. Do not over-mix. Wrap dough in plastic wrap and chill at least 2 hours or overnight.
• Processor method: Combine flour, salt and baking powder with cold butter, pulse briefly and add vinegar and water until combined (approx. 15-20 sec). Do not over-mix, or dough will be tough. Chill, as above.
• Preheat oven to 375º.
• Roll out dough to form a 13 1/2" circle (rough edges add character).
• Place into a 10 1/2" springform pan and press 1 1/2" up the sides of the pan. Set aside. Note: I don't own a springform pan and used instead my 9" Pyrex pie pan. I had no problems.
• Baker's Tip: roll out dough on floured plastic wrap for easy transfer to pan.
• Filling: Wash lemon well and slice off the ends, cut into eighths and remove seeds, but [*do not*] remove the rind.
• Add all filling ingredients to blender and blend well until liquefied, about 1 minute.
• Pour into unbaked tart shell.
• Bake at 375 degrees for 10 min, then lower temperature to 325 degrees and bake 30-40 more minutes (closer to 40 minutes for my tart), or until knife comes out clean.
• Set aside to cool at least 45 minutes or up to 1 hour. The longer it sits the firmer the tart will be and much easier to slice. I sliced the tart a half hour after removing from the oven and that was too soon.
• Top with fresh raspberries and if desired, a [light] dusting of powdered sugar.
