Italian Style Strawberry Tart
Recipe from: Kaitlyn Shaw (intern with Earth Charter Indiana, Summer 2010)
modified from www.epicurious.com
Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
3/4 cup sugar
2 tablespoons whole milk
2 eggs
1 pint strawberries, hulled and cut in half, leave additional whole strawberries for garnish
fresh whipped cream (optional)
Directions:
1) Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly grease a spring-form pan.
2) Mix together the flour, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon in a bowl.
3) In a seperate bowl, beat the butter and the sugar. Add the eggs and milk. Add the dry ingredients to the egg mixture and stir by hand until moistened. Do not overmix.
4) Spread the mixture into the bottom of the prepared pan. Press strawberry halves deeply into the dough in a circular patters of 2 or 3 rings.
5) Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the center of the tart comes out clean. Serve warm with whipped cream and strawberries, if desired.
Message from Kaitlyn: Look for local flour, butter, and eggs at the Farmers Markets or stores that carry locally-grown food. If you substitute local honey for the sugar, leave out the milk. Use garden fresh local strawberries or any other in season fruit.
