Categories: Desserts, Pastry
Servings: 6
140 g Plain flour (5 oz) 1/2 ts Sugar
1 ts Baking powder 3 tb Milk
60 g Unsalted butter (2 1/4 oz) Butter and flour for the
1 ds Salt - tart tin
120 g Caster sugar (4 oz) 100 ml Good dry white wine (scant
1 ts Ground cinnamon - 1/4 pint)
10 g Plain flour (1/4 oz) 15 g Butter (approx. 1/2 oz)
This a recipe from the Swiss district "Vaud": both the pastry and the
filling are local specialities.
Pre-heat the oven to 260 oC/500 oF. Lightly butter a tart tin with a
removable base 20 cm (8 in) in diameter.
Pastry: put the flour, baking powder and softened butter together in a
large bowl. Add the salt and sugar. Rub all the ingredients together with
your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse semolina. Add the milk
and mix it in lightly and rapidly with your fingers, without exerting any
pressure. Form the pastry into a ball, using it to collect all the loose
flour. If need be, add another drop or two of milk.
Do not let the pastry rest, but roll it out straight away to fit the
prepared tart tin. The pastry should be only 3 mm (1/8 in) thick and
should extend well beyond the rim. Ease the pastry into the base of the
tin by pressing gently into the corners with a small ball of dough, but
arrange for the spare pastry at the top of the tin to project as a little
horizontal fold or lip about 1 cm (3/8 in) wide and 1 cm deep inside the
tin. There is now much less spare pastry all round the outside of the tin.
Press the pastry down on top of the rim with your thumb and trim it off
neatly by rolling the pin across the tin
.
Press the fold of pastry inside the tin upwards (the rolling pin should
have passed over it without touching it at all). Work fast, with your
fingers inside the rim. You now have a border standing up all round the
top of the tin, with the lower, outside edge firmly attached to the rim.
Pinch this border between your finger and thumb with tweaking movements,
at intervals of 1 cm (3/8 in) to make a little fluted edge all round the
top of the tart.
Mix the sugar, cinnamon and flour together. Strew this mixture all over
the bottom of the tart. (This is a liquid filling so the bottom of the
tart is not pricked with a fork). Pour the wine over the sugar mixture and
mix it with your fingertips. Dot the surface with the butter, in flakes.
Cook the tart in the bottom of the pre-heated oven for 15 ... 20 minutes,
turning it from time to time to equalise the heat and to prevent bubbles
forming.
Leave the tart to cool before taking it out of the tin.
This recipe can and will most likely leave you in such a happy mood its flavor and taste always makes my day, I love it.

| BALLOON RELAY: Divide the children into 2 or more equal teams and stand them in a line. Give each team ten balloons in a basket. The first in each line takes a balloon and runs to the other side of the room/yard/area and sits or stomps on the balloon to pop it. After popping the balloon they run back to the line and tag the next person who does the same thing. The game goes on until one team has popped all of their balloons. The winning team gets a small prize (like a ribbon) while EVERYONE gets a small toy. Lots more

60s MENU IDEAS |
 |
It was during the 60s that people started to become aware about the importance of healthy food in their menus. The 60s denotes the hippy times and the rock culture where people were exploring new ways and trends in their lives and it was then that new and excellent blends of foods were being introduced and gained a lot of popularity. If you are throwing a 60s Rock and Roll party, it would be best if everything was similar to that time, that way everyone will get a true sense of how it is felt to be in the 60s.
The culture of the 60s was the time when people started becoming aware of healthier eating and so vegetarian style food gainied a lot of popularity at that time. For this fun party we need to tweak the taste a little and add some style so as to avoid a totally vegetarian party. What to serve? You can make a Vegetable Medley In Garlic-Chile Sauce. This recipe has vegetables that are spicy with garlicky taste and you spread this over the crisp fried corn tortillas. This dish does not end here. You also sprinkle it with crumbled cheese, onions that are thinly sliced, and oregano. Yum.
60s theme party feeling. |
