00:00When I feel like having dessert, I always make this tart because it's easy, quick and
00:06tastes great with any fruit.
00:12This is one of those tarts I make without thinking, there's no mystery to it.
00:17You don't need a mixer and you can use whatever fruits you have at home.
00:22Look how good it looks!
00:24And wait, just see how easy it is.
00:28Look at these simple ingredients.
00:30Three cups of flour, half a cup of sugar, one teaspoon of baking powder, and a pinch of
00:36salt.
00:37Also, half a package of butter, one egg, a bit of vanilla, and three tablespoons of milk.
00:42The process is just as easy.
00:45We're going to add the flour to a large bowl where we can mix everything without making
00:50a mess.
00:51That trick always helps.
00:53Not with the recipe, but it does help us work a little less.
00:59Once we have the flour in our super bowl, we're going to add the teaspoon of baking powder.
01:06In this first phase, if you notice, we're only adding dry ingredients.
01:11Now, the sugar, the pinch of salt, and what we have to do is mix it a little so that
01:17all
01:17these ingredients are evenly distributed.
01:21And then, the dough mixes faster and easier.
01:28And now, the ingredients we call wet.
01:31You see, I start with the milk.
01:34Three tablespoons will be enough.
01:35If lactose doesn't sit well with you, you know, any plant-based milk will work.
01:40We also add the egg we talked about earlier and the butter, which as you can see, I have
01:46it a bit soft.
01:47I left it out of the fridge for a while and already cut into small cubes so it mixes more
01:52easily.
01:53And now, let's start stirring.
01:55The liquid will start to combine with the dry ingredients mixture, and the butter will
02:00break up and get incorporated into the dough.
02:03So, if after a while your dough is too dense, you can always add a bit more moisture, a little
02:08more milk, or plant-based milk, but with these amounts, it should be balanced.
02:15But you know, not all flours are the same, so you might need to add a little more.
02:20That's okay.
02:22Finally, you know, you have to get your hands a little dirty, so wash your hands and give
02:26it the final knead with your hand.
02:28Look, this is the texture we're looking for.
02:31A little dense, but easy to work with.
02:34And once you have a ball that looks like this, set it aside and cover it, because now I'm
02:42going to take it to chill.
02:44And I'm going to do it in the freezer, which is even faster.
02:48So we open it, and in it goes.
02:53And trust me, this trick is very important, because it will make it look much more impressive
02:59with little effort.
03:00This makes the butter and the dough harden a bit.
03:04So grating it and turning it into small pieces is going to be easy and easy.
03:11And yes, you heard right, I'm going to grate the dough.
03:14So gadget like this, a cheese grater is perfect for giving it a different finish.
03:22Meanwhile, let's take the opportunity to make the filling with half a kilo of blueberries,
03:26one tablespoon of cornstarch and two of sugar.
03:29Look how easy it is.
03:30A large bowl again.
03:32A large bowl again.
03:32Blueberries washed, freshly washed.
03:34That's always an important detail with fruit.
03:37And here we're going to add directly two tablespoons of sugar, just sprinkling it, so it's evenly distributed.
03:57And also one tablespoon of cornstarch, also called starch or maize starch.
04:04What do you call it, by the way?
04:06Well, I'll put it here, and as you can imagine, we'll have to stir it.
04:12So we mix it really well with a spoon, and without any fuss, we're going to give it a few
04:17turns,
04:18making sure each blueberry gets a bit of the moisture, a bit of the sugar, and a bit of the
04:23cornstarch.
04:24And believe it or not, you can use any fruit you want, believe it or not, the filling is already
04:32ready.
04:33You can't deny it.
04:34Working with blueberries is easy, it's easy, it's super easy, it's the best.
04:42As you can see, I take the dough we had out of the freezer, and we're going to work with
04:48this.
04:48And look how simple it is.
04:50You'll notice that it's gotten a bit hard, and that's what we're looking for.
04:55We want the butter to firm up a bit so the dough is easy to work with by grating, you
04:59know, by grating.
05:00Here I have a 20 by 20 centimeter baking pan, although you could use whichever you want, and you just
05:07have to grate.
05:09It's that easy.
05:09Just run the cheese grater down the dough.
05:12Just like you would with cheese, but in this case, it's a short crust style dough.
05:18You spread the dough all over the base, keeping in mind that you'll use a little more than half of
05:24the dough.
05:25Save the rest for the topping, a little less than half.
05:29Of course, from time to time, you'll need to move it around to make sure you cover every last corner.
05:35You'll see how nice it looks and how crunchy it gets.
05:41And if you don't have a grater, that's fine too. Grate it however you want.
05:45And as a last resort, you can always stretch the dough a bit and cut it with a knife so
05:50you get irregular pieces.
05:52Does it take a little more time? Yes. But it tastes just as good.
05:58Now we pour that wonderful mixture we had with the blueberries and make sure to use every last drop of
06:04flavor.
06:06This already has a bit of juice. We have to make the most of it and that's what the spatula
06:11is for. Let's go.
06:12We spread it out really well and take it all the way to the corners, this mixture.
06:17If necessary, you can press it down a bit with the bottom of a spoon to make sure everything is
06:22at a similar height.
06:27As you can imagine, now we're going to use the rest of the dough. And the process is the same.
06:36You just grate it, spreading it on top so that the whole surface is as covered as possible.
06:44Then, with the help of a spoon or any utensil, I use a spatula. You spread it a bit so
06:49that it's well distributed.
06:51And you can see that, besides, it looks great. Now, let's go to the oven.
06:56I preheated it to 180 degrees, 180 degrees Celsius, and I put it in for about 45 to 50 minutes
07:04until I see it golden brown.
07:06After that, we take it out of the oven!
07:15Careful, careful, careful, and careful again!
07:18Don't rush. Be a little patient. Hold yourself back because you have to wait for it to cool down.
07:25Especially that kind of jam that magically forms inside.
07:30So, wait at least 15 minutes. And if you can wait a little longer, even better.
07:36So, leave it here to rest with some paper towels over it.
07:44And now you can serve it!
07:46If you want to take it up a notch, you can sprinkle some powdered sugar on top.
07:51Totally optional, but doesn't it look nice?
07:55Then you remove the mold. It doesn't matter if it's round or square.
07:59In my case, we remove the ring or unmold it.
08:03And now we take it to the table where everyone will be waiting with their mouths watering.
08:08Look at this amazing cake or pie! Don't tell me you don't want some!
08:13And it's super easy to make!
08:14Let's cut a slice and show you the most important thing, which is the inside, both in people and desserts.
08:22And this one doesn't disappoint. Look at that beauty!
08:29You feel like sinking your teeth into this slice right now!
08:33I'm already thinking about another cake that's just as easy and looks just as good.
08:39And since we're here, I want to learn with you.
08:43Do you eat this with a fork or a spoon?
08:46Because I don't know if it's a cake, a pie, or just a dessert.
08:52It looks tempting! You can see the crust, you can see the fruit, the colors.
09:01This, with a nice cup of coffee, is just the best!
09:04If you like the video, let me know in the comments!
09:08And also tell me, what other flavor would you add?
