GERMAN STRAWBERRY TART / ERDBEER TORTENBODEN



German Strawberry Tart / Erdbeer Tortenboden image

Found on Tasty-german-reciipe.com to use during ZWT 6 and during our bumper crop of home-grown strawberries. This is a spongcake sort of dish underneath with strawberries and glaze on top. I envision a bit of whipped cream for to topping too, just to make it even more decadent. Because this dessert really spolights the strawberries, I recommend only making this when strawneeries are in season. And if you can find a friendly neighbor with a strawberry patch - more's the better! You can do this with small whole berries too for a breathtaking presentation.

1/2 cup milk, hot
1/2 lemon, juice and grated peels
4 tablespoons butter
1 cup flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 tablespoons baking powder
recipe cream filling or whipped cream, or filling of your choice

Tips:

  • For a flaky crust, use cold butter and work it into the flour quickly.
  • If the dough is too dry, add a little bit of ice water until it comes together.
  • Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface to prevent it from sticking.
  • Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking to prevent it from shrinking.
  • Bake the crust until it is golden brown and firm to the touch.
  • Let the crust cool completely before filling it.
  • Use fresh, ripe strawberries for the filling.
  • Toss the strawberries with sugar and lemon juice to macerate them and release their juices.
  • Spread the strawberry filling evenly over the cooled crust.
