raspberry poppy seed tart

Well, after the purim failure, I was left with a mess of poppyseed filling. I thought about trying the same recipe again, armed with egg wash and new knowledge (the internet says you have tofold the edges of the cookies, not crimp) but ended up going with something else.

This is a raspberry poppy rustic tart.

The incredibly high seed-to-any-other-ingredient-ratio means that this tart is crunchy and nutty--like eating the tiniest tastiest gravel bits in a flaky pastry crust.

with raspberries.

Raspberry Poppy Tart
(adapted in parts from Smitten Kitchen)
Crust
1 cup all-purpose flour
4 tablespoons sugar, divided
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 stick plus 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
3 tablespoons ice water
1 large egg yolk mixed with 2 tablespoons of water

Combine flour, 2 tbsp sugar, baking powder, and salt, in a large bowl. Cut in the cold butter, and cut with two knives or a pastry cutter, until you have pea sized pieces.

Sprinkle the dough with ice water and mix briefly. (Don't overmix, This is pastry.) Knead the dough once or twice to get it together. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for about a half hour.

In the meantime, prepare your filling.

Filling
Combine 1/2 recipe of poppy seed filling with 1 cup of frozen raspberries and two tablespoons raspberry jam. Mix well.

Roll out the chilled dough into an 11-inch round.

Spread the filling in the center of the dough and gently fold the edges up over the top, covering the outer edge of the filling. Brush the top of the tart with the egg wash, and sprinkle the remaining sugar on top. For best results, freeze the tart before baking. It should take 3-4 hours to freeze solid.

Bake directly from the freezer, at 375 F for about 75 minutes. The crust will be golden brown.

Try to avoid drug tests, and don't forget to floss.
