I love Mango Tart

  • these ingredients are for a cake pan of 25 cm diameter ( 9.8 inch. ) … if you have a smaller pan you can either use less ingredients ( but you have to keep the proportions ) or just make some cookies with the extra dough . 

INGREDIENTS:

Flour : 300 gr ( 10 oz ) …. i like to use half buckwheat flour and half regular flour

Powder sugar : 110 gr. ( 3 oz. )

Butter : 110 gr. ( 3 oz. ) … it has to be diced and cold from the fridge

Eggs : 2 large

Lemon zest : 1 lemon ( better if organic and well cleaned )

Orange jam : 300 gr ( 10 oz )

Mango ( or other fresh fruit ) : 500 gr. (18 oz. ) 

Before you start : Prepare the mango ( or any fruit you like ) by slicing it and sprinkling it with lemon juice and keep it in the fridge

  1. Sift the flour and the powder sugar into a bowl 
  2. Add the lemon zest … mix with a fork
  3. Add the eggs … mix with a fork
  4. Add the butter ( already diced ) … mix with your hands quickly 
  5. try to keep it cool and make a ball of dough
  6. wrap it in plastic ( either a plastic bag or plastic film )
  7. keep it refrigerated for about one hour
  8. prepare the baking pan ( butter and flour )
  9. turn the oven on at 356 F.
  10. roll out the dough into the baking pan (it’s hard because it’s cold) trying to keep it cool so you have to be quick
  11. try to make a little edge around the baking pan
  12. pierce the dough with a fork … (about one inch distance between one and the other)
  13. cook for 30 minutes at 356 F
  14. let it cool at room temperature
  15. spread the orange jam ( you only need a super thin layer )
  16. put the mango slices over the jam. Keep each slice facing the same direction, concentric, and very tight.
  17. you can keep it refrigerated for about 3/4 days
