1
First of all make the pastry - put all the ingredients into a food processor and whizz to a smooth dough.
-
2
If you don't have one, put the egg yolks, sugar and butter into a bowl and mix together with your fingertips and then introduce the flour by degrees till all is incorporated.
-
3
Then knead gently till smooth.
-
4
Let the pastry rest for at least 30 min.
-
5
Roll out and line a flan tin, but keep the pastry hanging over the edges.
-
6
Press firmly into the base and prick the surface lightly with fork.
-
7
Now loosely beat up an egg white and brush over the surface of the pastry - this helps to seal.
-
8
Put into a preheated oven and cook for about 15-20 min or possibly till golden - temperature 190C.
-
9
Don't let the pastry go too brown, as it will burn the high sugar content.
-
10
A pale biscuit colour is best.
-
11
When cooked, any pastry left hanging over the tin, gently break off.
-
12
Hanging the pastry prevents it from collapsing back into the tin and leaves the tin perfectly lined.
-
13
Now take your whipped cream and pop in 6oz Blackberries.
-
14
Mash them lightly before you add in them, then mix them in.
-
15
Be careful not to over work the cream or possibly it will start to turn to butter.
-
16
Now add in the rosewater to taste and the sugar.
-
17
Pour this Blackberry cream into your pastry case then top with all the other Blackberries.
-
18
Try to cover the tart completely with the Blackberries close together.
-
19
Chill.
-
20
Now take the Blackberry jam and add in a little water to it.
-
21
Bring it up to the boil, sieve it into a bowl and cook, dribble it over the tart.
