Ingredients:

280 gr. Butter

500 gr. flour

3/4 cup sugar

2 eggs

2 teaspoons baking powder

300 gr. apricot jam

Procedure:

This is one of my favorite tart made by my grandmother during my childhood life.

You can make this tart with whatever jam you have in your fridge but my grandmother always used apricot jam.

My grandmother did all the work but the final touches was always my part.

 

The pleasure of forming dough strips and spreading them over the tart was the ultimate moment, while listening to old stories by my grandma of course.

 

Implementation
 

Whisk the melted butter with a mixer, add the sugar, add the eggs and slowly add the flour until making the dough soft.

Refrigerate for about 30 minutes to let it rest.

Roll out two-thirds of the dough in a well buttered tart pan (with 25 cm diameter), place all the way around the raised sides of the pan,  pressing gently to cover evenly and join with the base.

 

Roll out remaining dough to about 1/2 cm thickness and cut into strips.  

Spread the jam evenly and cover with the dough strips.


Bake for about 45 minutes in 180 degrees.
