Raisin Tart Recipe

Ingredients:

• 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1 egg yolk
• 1/2 cup raisins
• 1/4 cup water
• 1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. In a medium bowl, whisk the flour with salt. Set aside.
3. In a large bowl, using an electric mixer, beat the butter with sugar at medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
4. Add the egg yolk to the butter mixture, beat until combined.
5. With the mixer at low speed, add the flour mixture and beat until just combined.
6. Gather the dough into a ball and then flatten into a disk.
7. Wrap the dough tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
8. Roll out the pastry to 1/4-inch thickness.
9. Fit the pastry into a 9-inch tart pan and trim the edges.
10. In a medium saucepan, combine raisins, water, brown sugar, cornstarch, and cinnamon.
11. Cook over medium heat until the mixture thickens, stirring constantly. This will take about 5-7 minutes.
12. Spoon the raisin filling into the pastry shell.
13. Bake the raisin tart for 25-30 minutes or until the crust is golden brown.
14. Let the tart cool before slicing and serving.

Verdict:

This raisin tart recipe is a perfect mix of sweet and savory. The raisins are cooked to perfection, providing a caramelized texture and flavor, while the crust is tender and flaky.
