Ingredients

Method
  • 300 g flour
  • 150 g icing sugar
  • 2 t baking powder
  • 2 free-range eggs, beaten
  • 2 free-range egg yolks, beaten
  • 280 g butter, cubed at room temperature
  • 1 cup raspberry jam
  • milk, for brushing

Method

Ingredients

1. Combine the flour, icing sugar and baking powder in a large bowl. Make a well in the flour, then add the eggs. Cut in the butter and eggs using a butter knife until a dough forms. Wrap in clingwrap and chill for 30 minutes.

2. Preheat the oven to 180°C. Grease a 28 cm tart case and roll out the dough to a thickness of 3 mm. Cover the bottom of the tart case with half the dough and prick with fork. Spread the jam onto the base.

3. Cut the remaining dough into strips and create a lattice on the jam using the strips of dough. Brush with milk and bake for 30–35 minutes. Serve warm or cold.
