Steps

  • Place the sifted flour on a worktop, add the butter in pieces, and rub the flour and butter between your hands until waterproofed.

    Finally, pour in the egg yolks and knead everything quickly.

    You can make the shortcrust with a mixer or better yet with a kitchen cutter.

    Roll out the shortcrust in a 9-inch tart pan, leaving 1/4 aside.

    Pour the jam, spreading it well with the help of a spoon.

    Roll out the remaining shortcrust and cut it into strips.

    Decorate the tart’s surface.

    Bake for 45 minutes at 355°F in a preheated static oven.

    Remove from the oven and let cool before unmolding.
