TARTE AU SUCRE



Tarte au Sucre image

More than 75 percent of the world's maple-syrup supply is produced in Quebec. In Canada the sap doesn't start running until early March, when the nights are still freezing but the days are bright. Locals process the syrup in a cabane à sucre, or sugar shack, and harvest brings with it celebration, often with a multicourse meal that puts the maple syrup front and center in dishes like this tarte au sucre, or maple syrup pie.

Categories     pies and tarts, dessert

Time 45m

Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 cup flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon sugar
5 tablespoons butter, cubed
3 tablespoons ice water
2 eggs
1 tablespoon flour
1/2 cup heavy cream
1 cup maple syrup, preferably medium dark
Crème fraîche, for serving

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 400 degrees. Make the crust by combining the flour, salt and sugar in a large bowl. Cut the butter into the flour with a fork or pastry blender until the mixture is the texture of coarse meal. Sprinkle a tablespoon of ice water at a time over the dough, lifting and tossing it with the fork. When it begins to come together, gather the dough, press it into a ball and then pull it apart. If it crumbles in your hands, it needs more water. Add a teaspoon or two more water, as needed.
  • Flatten the ball of dough and roll between two sheets of plastic wrap into a circle 10 inches in diameter. Remove the plastic and lay the dough into a 9-inch tart pan, press into place and remove excess dough. Place in the freezer.
  • Meanwhile, make the filling by beating the eggs in a bowl. Gradually whisk in the flour. Add the cream and maple syrup and whisk until combined. Pour into the crust-lined pan. Cook until the middle still jiggles but is solid, 25 to 30 minutes. Serve with créme fraîche.

Tips:

  • For the perfect flaky crust, make sure the butter is very cold before incorporating it into the flour. You can achieve this by chilling the butter in the freezer for about 30 minutes before using it.
  • Don't overwork the dough. Overworking the dough will make it tough. Just mix it until it comes together and forms a ball.
  • Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before rolling it out. Chilling the dough will make it easier to roll out and prevent it from shrinking in the oven.
  • When rolling out the dough, make sure to roll it out evenly. This will help ensure that the pie bakes evenly.
  • Trim the edges of the dough before baking. This will help prevent the edges from becoming too brown.
  • Bake the pie in a preheated oven. This will help ensure that the pie bakes evenly.
  • Let the pie cool for at least 15 minutes before serving. This will help the filling set and prevent it from becoming runny.

Conclusion:

Whether you're a seasoned baker or a novice in the kitchen, this classic sugar pie recipe is sure to impress. With its flaky crust, creamy filling, and sweet-tart flavor, it's a timeless dessert that will be enjoyed by people of all ages.
