CHOCOLATE TART Ingredients
200g Plain flour 125g Unsalted butter (chilled) 1 Egg 50g Sugar 1 pinch LoSalt Method
1. Sieve the flour and the salt into a bowl. 2. Dice the chilled butter and add to the flour, lightly rub in the butter to achieve a sandy texture. Do this by running your hands down the insides of the bowl and go right to the bottom. When your fingers meet, slowly lift them out or the bowl rubbing your thumbs over your fingers as you go. 3. The secret of perfect pastry is to make sure you don’t work it too much at this stage, I always try and make sure that I don’t rub all the butter in completely. I like to see little flakes of butter once I have finished rubbing in. 4. Mix the egg and the sugar together. Make a well in the centre of the flour and butter and add the sugar and the egg mixture. 5. Gradually incorporate into the flour until and carefully bring together until you have a smooth paste. 6. Press into a flat round, wrap in cling film and allow to rest in the fridge for an hour before using. The reason you press the pastry into a flat round is so that you can pin it straight from the fridge. Filling Ingredients
