Feijoas are delicious when caramelised under a blanket of crispy pastry like in this Kiwi twist to the classic Tarte tatin.
Ingredients
1 block | Sweet short pastry |
125 g | Unsalted butter, softened |
¼ cup | Icing sugar, sifted |
125 g | Caster sugar |
2 | Eggs, beaten |
30 g | Flour |
125 g | Ground almonds |
4 | Feijoas, peeled and cooked whole in lemon sugar syrup (Main) |
Directions
- Line the bench with cling-film and dust with flour.
- Roll the pastry out to 4mm thick, dust icing sugar over and fold in from each end to meet in the middle and fold again. Roll to 2mm thick, use a saucer to cut out discs, prick and place on a baking sheet lined with baking paper, bake at 170C until light and golden.
- In a mixing bowl, beat together the unsalted butter and sugar until light and pale.
- Whisk in the eggs, one at a time.
- Sieve in the flour and almonds together, folding into the butter mixture.
- Spread the paste over the discs of pastry; place the tarts back into the oven for seven minutes or until golden.
- Take from the oven, top with sliced feijoas, dust with icing sugar and place back into the oven at 185C for a further four to five minutes.
- Take out, place on to a plate, top with buffalo yoghurt and a drizzle of liquid honey.
