- ½ cup unsalted butter, plus1tbsp butter for spreading chilled and cubed
- 1 large egg yolk
- 2 Tbsp ice water
- ¼ tsp salt
- ⅓ cup old milk
- 1 Tbsp agave syrup
- ½ Tbsp molasses
Filling Ingredients:
- 3 cups Fresh or frozen mixed berries (such as strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries)
- ⅓ cup light brown sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Serving:
- fresh berries for serving
Instructions
For the Crust
- In a food processor, pulse together the flour, dark brown sugar, and salt until combined. Add the chilled butter cubes and pulse until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the egg yolk, cold milk, ice water, agave syrup, and molasses. With the food processor running, gradually add the egg yolk mixture until the dough comes together and forms a ball.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead it briefly until smooth. Flatten the dough into a disk, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Roll out the chilled dough on a lightly floured surface to fit a 9-inch tart pan. Carefully transfer the dough to the tart pan, pressing it into the bottom and sides. Trim any excess dough.
- Prick the bottom of the crust with a fork, line it with parchment paper, and fill it with pie weights or dried beans.
- Pre-bake the crust in the preheated oven for 10 minutes at 375°F (190°C).
- Then, remove the parchment paper and pie weights, and bake for an additional 5 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
Filling
- In the meantime, prepare the berry filling. In a large bowl, toss together the mixed berries, light brown sugar, and vanilla extract until well combined. Let the mixture sit for about 10 minutes to allow the berries to release their juices.
- Remove the tart shell from the oven and let it cool slightly. Fill the pre-baked tart shell with the prepared berry filling, spreading it out evenly.
- Return the filled tart to the oven and bake for an additional15-20 minutes, or until the filling is bubbly and the crust is golden brown.
- Allow the tart to cool completely before serving. Optionally, dust with powdered sugar before serving and serve with fresh berries on top.
