1/4 cup55 g sugar

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup/110 g butter, cold

2 egg yolks

Filling:

2 cups/10 ounces cherries (about 50 cherries)

1/2 teaspoon vanilla

Directions

  1. Heat oven to 350 degrees F/180 degrees C For the pastry: Put the flour, sugar and salt in a large bowl. Add the butter pieces, and pinch with the fingers to create a crumb texture. Make a well in the middle, and add the eggs. Quickly work in the flour mixture to create dough. Do not over-mix. Pat into a disk and refrigerate 15 minutes before rolling out. Fit into a 9-inch tart pan. For the filling: Arrange the cherries in the crust. Beat the eggs with the sugar, and then stir in the creme fraiche and vanilla. Pour the custard over the cherries. Bake until set, about 25 minutes. Cool before serving.

This tart came out perfect and looked pretty much just like the photo shown on the recipe! I used the cherry syrup leftover from a jar of Italian cherries I used for the tart and made a cherry meringue (I loved the addition but my boyfriend liked the tart by itself.) I do recommend chilling the dough only 5 mins if it isn't warm in your kitchen as my dough was brittle when rolling. I let it warm up and it was fine! A+ delicious tart recipe.
