Best 5 Brown Butter Raspberry Tart Recipes

RASPBERRY BROWN BUTTER TART

Steps:

• Position a rack in the lower third of the oven; preheat oven to 350°F.
• Unfold pastry on a lightly floured surface and roll it out to a rough 12-inch square.
• Fit into a 9-inch fluted tart pan with removable bottom.
• Trim the dough even with the top of the pan.
• Refrigerate dough in pan.
• In a small heavy saucepan, melt butter over high heat, then cook for 8-10 minutes, until golden brown and has a nutty aroma. (NOTE: When cooking the butter after melting, it would be a good idea to turn down the heat a bit and cover pan with a lid! I learned this the hard way. Also be attentive in making sure the butter does not burn).
• Meanwhile, in a medium size bowl whisk eggs and granulated sugar until well blended.
• Whisk in the flour.
• Gradually whisk in the browned butter.
• Finally, whisk in the vanilla until combined.
• Scatter berries evenly over the bottom of the tart shell.
• Slowly pour the browned butter mixture evenly over the berries.
• Bake tart for 45 to 50 minutes, until the top is golden brown and the filling is set. (NOTE: A few cracks in the tart is normal).
• Let tart cool completely on a wire rack.
• Serve at room temp, or refrigerate and serve chilled.
• Right before serving, dust top of tart generously with confectioners sugar, if desired.

RASPBERRY AND BROWN SUGAR CUSTARD TART

Steps:

• Blend 1 1/4 cups flour and 1/2 teaspoon salt in processor. Add chilled butter; using on/off turns, process until mixture resembles coarse meal. Add 3 tablespoons ice water and process until moist clumps form, adding more water by teaspoonfuls if mixture is dry. Gather dough into ball; flatten into disk. Wrap in plastic and chill at least 1 hour.
• Preheat oven to 375°F. Roll out dough on lightly floured surface to 12-inch round. Transfer to 9-inch-diameter tart pan with removable bottom. Trim dough overhang to 1/2 inch. Fold overhang in, forming double-thick sides. Freeze crust 15 minutes. Bake until crust is golden, about 40 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 350°F.
• Line warm tart shell with raspberries. Whisk remaining 2 tablespoons flour and brown sugar in medium bowl to blend. Whisk in eggs, melted butter, and cream. Scrape in seeds from vanilla bean; discard bean. Pour enough filling over raspberries to fill crust to just below edge (discard any remaining filling). Place tart pan on baking sheet. Bake until custard is set, puffed, and golden, about 35 minutes. Cool at least 3 hours; serve at room temperature. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and store at room temperature.)

MOTHER'S RASPBERRY TART

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In the bowl of a food processor, combine the flour, salt and brown sugar and pulse to combine. Add the butter and pulse until the mixture resembles coarse meal. Add the egg yolks and continue to pulse until the mixture pulls away from the sides of the bowl.
• Press the dough into the bottom and about 1/2 inch up the sides of a buttered 9-inch tart pan with a removable bottom. Bake until light brown, about 25 to 30 minutes. Remove from the oven and cool on a wire rack.
• Select 10 pretty raspberries for garnishing the cake and set them aside. Place the rest of the raspberries with their juice in a saucepan and add the granulated sugar. Cook over medium heat, stirring, until the mixture boils. Combine the cornstarch with 1 tablespoon water and stir it into the boiling fruit. Cook, stirring, until the mixture thickens slightly, about 3 minutes. Remove from the heat.
• Remove the rim of the tart pan and pour the fruit into the cooled shell. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for several hours or until set. Garnish with the reserved berries and serve with whipped cream, if desired.

BROWN BUTTER TART WITH BERRIES

Steps:

• Dough: Combine flour, sugar, and butter in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Mix on medium speed until the butter and dry ingredients form a coarse cornmeal consistency, about 2 minutes. Alternatively, combine the flour, sugar, and butter in a large bowl and, with your fingertips or pastry cutter, crumble into a coarse cornmeal consistency.
• Whisk the egg yolks and cream together in a small bowl and add to the flour mixture; mix on low until large chunks form. Turn the dough onto a flat, clean work surface dusted with flour. Press the dough with the heel of your hand and gather the pieces together to bring the dough into a ball. Knead the dough a few more minutes, form it into a disc, wrap tightly with plastic wrap, and chill for at least 1 hour and up to 3 days. This dough makes enough for two 10-inch tarts. (Note: The dough can also be frozen for up to 2 months. Before using, defrost overnight in the refrigerator.)
• Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or silicon baking mat and butter the inside of the tart ring. Take the dough out of the refrigerator and cut it in half; reserve one half for later use. Cut the dough into large chunks. Pound the dough with a rolling pin and then knead it a few times to temper the dough to the consistency of Play-Doh. Dust your work surface and rolling pin with flour and pound the dough into a large disc, about ¼-inch thick. Roll the dough out to at least 2 inches larger than the ring to a thickness of 1/8 inch. Place the tart ring on top and trim the dough so that 2 inches remain around it. (Discard or reuse the excess dough scraps as cookie dough, etc.) Brush off the extra flour from the dough. Wrap the dough around the rolling pin and ease it into the tart ring. Dip the knuckle of your index finger in flour and press the dough into the crease with your knuckle so you have a straight edge, not sloping sides. Don''t stretch the dough to fit, because it will shrink during baking. Roll your rolling pin over the top of the tart ring to neatly cut off the excess dough; pull off the trimmed dough and discard. Place the tart shell in the refrigerator to chill for at least 30 minutes and up to one day.
• Custard: Whisk the eggs and sugar in a large bowl until smooth; then add the flour and whisk until thoroughly combined. Using a small, sharp knife, split the vanilla bean lengthwise; scrape out the pulp and seeds and smear them on the butter. Add the butter, vanilla pulp and seeds, and vanilla bean to a small, heavy-bottomed saucepan and heat over high heat until the butter is brown and foamy. Continue cooking the butter until it is dark brown and gives off a nutty aroma. Pour the butter in a slow, steady stream into the bowl with the egg yolks, whisking constantly. Remove vanilla bean. (Note: The filling can be prepared up to 10 days in advance and refrigerated in an airtight container. Just before using, bring it to room temperature until it is a spreadable consistency.)
• Adjust the oven rack to the middle position and preheat to 350 F. Remove the prepared tart shell from the refrigerator. Spoon the filling about halfway up the tart and spread evenly. Sprinkle ½ cup berries on top of the custard. Bake the tart until the top is golden brown, about 30-40 minutes if you are using an 8-inch ring or 45 minutes if you are using a 10-inch ring. Remove the tart from the oven and allow it to cool completely, or for at least 2 hours.
• To make the topping, set a colander inside a bowl; place 1½ cups blueberries into a second bowl. Bring sugar syrup to a boil, then pour over berries. Toss gently with a spoon to coat the berries, then immediately drain into the colander. To remove the tart from the baking sheet, slip a cardboard round under the crust and carefully slide the tart onto it, leaving the ring in place. Slide the tart onto a serving plate and remove the cardboard and the ring. Pile the blueberries on top of the tart. Immediately before serving, dust with confectioners sugar.
