STEPHANIE JOHNSTON'S BAKEWELL TART



Stephanie Johnston's Bakewell Tart image

A classic British bakewell tart is a threesome: a crust; a layer of raspberry jam - one chockfull of seeds; and a sponge cake redolent of almonds. Sliced almonds and a drizzle of icing may or may not be optional, depending on whose recipe you're using. I got my first taste of a bakewell, and this recipe, in Paris from my friend, Stephanie Johnston, who got it from her mom, Granny Annie, in England. Granny never used almonds or icing but occasionally swapped her homemade raspberry jam for red currant jelly or lemon curd. When I asked what made a good bakewell, Steph instructed, "The crust, the jam and the almond cake." Well, of course. That settled, Stephanie confessed to using Bonne Maman jam from the supermarket. As for the crust, both Steph and her mom make a plain, all-butter crust, think pâte brisée or pie dough. We polished off Steph's tart in one go after dinner, but had we shown more discipline, it would have kept at room temperature for three more days.

Time 1h45m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

Unbaked tart crust in a 9-inch fluted pan (see recipe here)
1 1/4 cups (125 grams) almond flour
1/2 cup (68 grams) all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
Pinch of fine sea salt
1 stick (113 grams) unsalted butter, very soft
1/2 cup (100 grams) sugar
2 large eggs, at room temperature, lightly beaten
1/2 teaspoon almond extract
1 jar (340 to 370 grams) raspberry jam, to make 1 slightly rounded cup
1/3 cup sliced almonds (optional)
1/2 cup (60 grams) confectioners' sugar
1/2 to 1 tablespoon water

Steps:

  • Center a rack in the oven, and preheat it to 400. Prick the crust all over with a fork, cover with buttered foil and fill with dried rice or beans. Place on a baking sheet, and bake for 15 minutes. Remove the foil and weights, and bake for 3 minutes more, until lightly colored. Set aside to cool.
  • To make the filling: Reduce the oven temperature to 350. Whisk the almond flour, all-purpose flour, baking powder and sea salt together. Working with a mixer, beat the butter and sugar together on medium speed for 3 minutes, until pale and creamy. Gradually beat in the eggs, scraping the bowl as needed. The mixture may curdle - it's O.K. Beat in the almond extract. Reduce the mixer speed to low, and add half of the dry mixture. When incorporated, add the rest, and beat only until it disappears into the batter. Finish blending with a spatula.
  • Spread the jam in the crust, and top with the filling, covering the jam as completely as you can. (The filling doesn't spread easily, but imperfections work out in the end.) If you'd like, sprinkle with sliced almonds.
  • Bake the tart for 40 to 50 minutes, or until the top feels firm and is puffed all the way to the center. (Check the tart after about 25 minutes, and if it is browning quickly, tent it loosely with foil.) Transfer to a rack, and let it cool before icing, if you'd like, and serving.
  • To make the icing: Stir the sugar and 1/2 tablespoon water together. If the icing doesn't run off the spoon slowly and steadily, add more water drop by drop. Drizzle over the tart, and let it dry at room temperature.

Provided by James Martin

Categories     Afternoon tea, Dessert

Time 1h25m

Number Of Ingredients 13

500g pack sweet shortcrust pastry, or make your own (see 'goes well with' for recipe)
flour, for dusting
100g butter, softened
100g caster sugar
1 lemon, zested and juiced
2 large eggs
½ tsp almond extract
50g fresh white breadcrumbs
100g ground almonds
140g raspberry jam
250g icing sugar
350g raspberry
1 tbsp toasted flaked almonds

Steps:

  • Roll out the pastry on a lightly floured work surface. Use the pastry to line a 23cm loose-bottomed tart tin (see step-by-step). Cover with cling film and leave in the fridge to rest for 1 hr.
  • Heat the oven to 190C/170C fan/gas 5. To make the filling, put the butter, sugar and lemon juice in a food processor, then blend until light and fluffy. With the machine running at full speed, add the eggs and almond extract, and whizz until combined to a smooth paste. Fold in the breadcrumbs and ground almonds by hand.
  • Take the tart case from the fridge, line with baking parchment and baking beans and place on a baking tray. Bake for 20 mins until the sides are set and the pastry is sandy. Carefully remove the beans and the parchment and place tart case back in the oven for 10 mins until the base is biscuity.
  • Remove from the oven and spread the jam over the base, then top with the almond filling. Return the tart to the oven for a further 25 mins until the almond layer is cooked. Leave to cool in the tin.
  • Remove the tart from the tin and place on a serving plate. Mix the icing sugar with 4-5 tbsp water to make a thick icing. Flood the top of the tart with the icing, keeping 1 tbsp aside, then arrange the raspberries on top, all pointing upwards. Drizzle with the remaining icing and scatter with flaked almonds. Leave for 10 mins so the icing can set a little, before serving.

Pinch of salt

Steps:

  • For crust:

Categories     Berry     Dairy     Egg     Dessert     Bake     Raspberry     Spring     Bon Appétit     Kidney Friendly     Vegetarian     Pescatarian     Peanut Free     Tree Nut Free     Soy Free     Kosher

Yield Serves 6

Number Of Ingredients 17

Crust
3/4 cup unbleached all purpose flour
6 tablespoons cake flour
1/4 cup sugar
1 teaspoon grated lemon peel
6 tablespoons (3/4 stick) chilled unsalted butter, cut into pieces
2 tablespoons (about) water
Filling
2 cups whipping cream
1 vanilla bean, split lengthwise
1/2 cup sugar
6 large egg yolks
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1/2 cup raspberry preserves
1/2 cup packed golden brown sugar
Fresh berries
Mint sprigs

Steps:

  • For crust:
  • Blend first 4 ingredients in processor. Add butter; cut in using on/off turns until mixture resembles fine meal. Blend in enough water by tablespoons to bind dough. Gather into ball; flatten into disk. Wrap in plastic; chill 1 hour.
  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Roll out dough on floured surface to 11-inch round. Transfer to 9-inch-diameter tart pan with removable bottom. Trim edges. Freeze crust 15 minutes. Line with foil. Fill with dried beans or pie weights. Bake until set, about 20 minutes. Remove foil and beans and bake crust until golden, about 10 minutes. Transfer to rack and cool. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and let stand at room temperature.)
  • For filling:
  • Place cream in heavy medium saucepan. Scrape in seeds from vanilla bean; add bean.
  • Bring to simmer. Whisk sugar, yolks and cornstarch in small bowl to blend. Slowly whisk hot cream into yolk mixture. Return to saucepan and cook over medium heat until custard thickens and boils, whisking often, about 7 minutes. Discard vanilla bean. Chill until firm but still spoonable, whisking occasionally, about 1 hour.
  • Spread preserves in crust. Carefully spoon custard over. Refrigerate until custard is firm, 4 to 8 hours.
  • Preheat broiler. Press brown sugar through sieve over tart, covering evenly. Broil until sugar caramelizes, rotating pan as necessary to prevent burning and watching carefully. Chill 1 hour. Transfer to platter. Garnish with berries and mint.

Tips:

  • To make sure your pastry is perfectly crumbly, use cold butter and don't overwork the dough.
  • If you don't have a tart pan, you can use a 9-inch pie plate instead.
  • Be sure to blind-bake the pastry crust before filling it, to prevent it from becoming soggy.
  • Use fresh raspberries for the best flavor. If you're using frozen raspberries, thaw them completely before using.
  • Don't overcook the tart, or the filling will become tough.
  • Serve the tart warm or at room temperature, with a dollop of whipped cream or ice cream.

Conclusion:

The Raspberry Red Bakewell Tart is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that's perfect for any occasion. With its buttery pastry crust, sweet raspberry filling, and almond frangipane layer, this tart is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
