Servings4
250 grams butter
250 grams sugar
2 eggs
400 grams all-purpose flour
100 grams cornstarch
20 grams baking powder
lemon zest
fruit jam (dulce de boniato or dulce de membrillo)

butter

🥗Healthier: coconut oil

💰Cheaper: margarine

Coconut oil reduces saturated fat while maintaining moisture.

fruit jam

🥗Healthier: fruit puree

💰Cheaper: homemade jam

Fruit puree lowers sugar content and can be made with fresh fruit.

1

Start by creaming together 250 grams of softened butter and 250 grams of sugar until well combined.

2

Add 2 eggs at room temperature to the mixture, mixing well after each addition.

3

Sift 400 grams of all-purpose flour directly into the mixing bowl with the creamed mixture.

4

Add 100 grams of cornstarch to the flour and mix well.

5

Incorporate 20 grams of baking powder into the mixture and combine everything thoroughly.

6

Use a spatula to mix the dough gently to avoid activating the gluten too much.

7

Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.

8

Roll out one portion of the dough between two sheets of plastic wrap to form the base.

9

Transfer the rolled-out dough to a tart pan and press it into the base.

10

Spread a layer of fruit jam (dulce de boniato or dulce de membrillo) evenly over the dough in the pan.

11

Roll out the remaining dough and cut it into strips to create a lattice top over the jam.

12

Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown (exact time not specified in the transcript).

13

Let the tart cool before serving.
