If you haven’t been lucky enough to visit Monsieur Spoon when on holidays in Bali then maybe you should try your hand at this signature tart. I am drooling already!
Monsieur Spoon’s Salty Caramel Tart Recipe:
Sweet Crust Pastry Recipe
Ingredients
- 200 gram fine Almond Flour
- 880 gram Icing Sugar
- 880 gram all purpose Butter
- 20 gram Sea Salt (from Amed)
- 7 whole Eggs
- 2 kg multi-purpose Flour
Method
Mix the fine almond flour, salt, icing sugar and flour together and spread on the table.
Make a hole in the middle and crack the eggs into the whole.
On top of the flour mix, place small pieces of butter and rub them together with your fingers. You want to soften the butter but not melt it!
Put two fingers inside the eggs and start stirring, slowly, adding the flour mix to the eggs until you get a nice pastry.
Rest in chiller for 1 hour before using.
Inside a pastry ring, shape a tartlet.
Pierce the dough with a fork to make holes, then leave in chiller at least 2 hours.
Bake for 14 mins at 170C until golden brown.
