Servings: 8
Ingredients
- All-purpose flour (1 1/4 cups)
- Unsalted butter (1/2 cup, cold and cubed)
- Granulated sugar (1/4 cup)
- Salt (1/4 teaspoon)
- Cold water (2-3 tablespoons)
- Fresh raspberries (2 cups)
- Cornstarch (2 tablespoons)
- Lemon juice (1 tablespoon)
- Powdered sugar (for dusting)
Instructions
- In a food processor, combine the all-purpose flour, cold cubed butter, granulated sugar, and salt. Pulse until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Add 2-3 tablespoons of cold water gradually while pulsing until the dough comes together. Be careful not to overwork the dough.
- Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and shape it into a disk. Wrap it in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow it to firm up.
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out the chilled dough into a circle large enough to fit a 9-inch tart pan. Carefully press the dough into the pan and trim any excess from the edges.
- In a mixing bowl, gently combine the fresh raspberries, cornstarch, and lemon juice. Toss until the raspberries are well-coated.
- Pour the raspberry mixture into the prepared tart shell, spreading it evenly to ensure every bite is filled with fruity goodness.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the raspberries are bubbling. Keep an eye on it to prevent burning.
- Remove the tart from the oven and allow it to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
- Once cooled, dust the top with powdered sugar before slicing and serving.
