Raspberry Streusel Tart Recipes

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.

Steps:

• Make dough:
• Blend together flour, butter, shortening, and salt in a bowl with your fingertips or a pastry blender (or pulse in a food processor) just until mixture resembles coarse meal with some small (roughly pea-size) butter lumps. Transfer 2 cups mixture to a bowl and drizzle 4 tablespoons ice water evenly over it (reserve remaining mixture). Stir gently with a fork until incorporated.
• Squeeze a small handful of dough: If it doesn't hold together, add more ice water 1/2 tablespoon at a time, stirring until incorporated. (Do not overwork dough, or pastry will be tough.)
• Turn out dough onto a work surface and divide into 4 portions. With heel of your hand, smear each portion once or twice in a forward motion to help distribute fat. Gather all dough together with pastry scraper and press into a ball, then flatten into a 5-inch disk. If dough is sticky, dust lightly with additional flour. Wrap disk in plastic wrap and chill until firm, at least 1 hour.
• Make topping while dough chills:
• Add almonds and sugar to reserved dough mixture in a bowl and rub together until some large clumps form.
• Assemble pie:
• Put a large baking sheet on oven rack in lower third of oven and preheat oven to 375°F. Roll out disk of dough into a 14- by 13-inch rectangle on a lightly floured surface with a lightly floured rolling pin. Fit into tart pan and trim excess dough, leaving a 1/2-inch overhang, then fold overhang under pastry and press against rim of pan to reinforce edge. Fill shell with berries and sprinkle evenly with topping. Bake tart in pan on baking sheet until topping and crust are golden and filling is bubbling, about 55 to 60 minutes (loosely cover with a sheet of foil after 30 minutes to prevent overbrowning). Cool in pan on a rack 20 minutes, then remove side of pan and cool tart completely, about 45 minutes.

Steps:

• In a large saucepan, cook raspberries and water over medium heat 5 minutes. Add lemon juice. Combine sugar and cornstarch; stir into fruit mixture. Bring to a boil; cook and stir 2 minutes or until thickened. Cool., Preheat oven to 350°. In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder and baking soda. Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in eggs, sour cream and vanilla (batter will be stiff). , Spread half into a greased 13x9-in. baking dish. Spread raspberry filling over batter; spoon remaining batter over filling. Combine topping ingredients; sprinkle over top. , Bake 40-45 minutes or until golden brown. Combine glaze ingredients; drizzle over warm cake.

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.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400°F. In small bowl, mix crust ingredients with spoon or electric mixer on low speed until dough forms. In ungreased 9-inch tart pan with removable bottom, press dough firmly and evenly against bottom and side. Place pan on cookie sheet. Bake 15 to 20 minutes or until light brown. Cool 10 minutes before filling.
• Reduce oven temperature to 350°F. Spread pie filling over bottom of partially baked crust. Top with raspberries. In medium bowl, mix topping ingredients with pastry blender or fork until crumbly; sprinkle over raspberries and pie filling.
• Bake 20 to 25 minutes or until filling is hot and topping is golden brown. Cool completely, about 1 hour 30 minutes, before serving.

Steps:

• In a small bowl, beat butter and sugar for 2 minutes or until crumbly. Beat in flour and nuts. Coat a 9-in. fluted tart pan with removable bottom with cooking spray. Press crumb mixture onto the bottom and up the sides of pan. Bake at 425° for 8-10 minutes or until lightly browned. Cool on a wire rack., In a small saucepan, combine sugar and flour. Stir in milk until smooth. Cook and stir over medium-high heat until thickened and bubbly. Reduce heat; cook and stir 2 minutes longer. Remove from the heat. Stir a small amount of hot filling into egg yolk; return all to the pan, stirring constantly. Bring to a gentle boil; cook and stir 2 minutes longer. Remove from the heat; gently stir in extract. Pour over crust. Refrigerate until set. , In a small bowl, whisk fruit spread until smooth; spread over filling. Garnish with raspberries.
