my valentine's day pick
alright people. this is what i'm hoping to make. i got it from my current favorite cookbook. unfortunately, there was no picture (i'm such a sucker for the pictures.) this means we'll have to use our imagination. or better yet, maybe this will prevent your significant other from saying "hey, that doesn't look like the picture."
right. thanks ahsen.
Italian Strawberry Tart
Yield: 6 to 8 servings
1 1/2 cups flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon cinnamon
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
3/4 cup sugar
2 eggs
2 tablespoons whole milk
1 pint strawberries, hulled and cut in half, plus extra whole strawberries for garnish (optional)
fresh whipped cream (optional)
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly grease a spring-form pan.
Mix together flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon in a bowl.
In a separate bowl, beat the butter with the sugar. Add eggs and milk. Add the dry ingredients to the egg mixture and stir by hand until just moistened. Do not overmix.
Spread mixture into bottom of prepared pan. Press strawberry halves deeply into dough in a circular pattern of 2 or 3 rings. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Serve warm with whipped cream and strawberries, if desired.
