I am back in the U.S. and already cooking! I missed it a lot while I was traveling Europe eating wonderful food and yummy gelato. It was an amazing experience, one that I will always remember and cherish as my first time traveling. Needless to say I have been bitten by the travel bug and already want to plan for next summer. This week has been a great transition back home. I have had minimal work hours, waking up when I want and drinking American coffee with milk and splenda! Mmm my favorite. Monday I made a diner style strawberry pie from cooks-country magazine.
It was good but between my family and Jon's family I should have stuck with unflavored gelatin and not strawberry flavored. Guess I should have read the whole article before I decided to pick up the ingredients.Because we have a plethora of strawberries at my house I am now doing a browned butter strawberry tart. This is a recipe adapted from Bon Appetit magazine, which called for raspberries. I let you now how it goes after I feed it to my taste testers. The pie filling tasted yummy before I even popped it in the oven!!
Filling:
Crust:
- 7 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1/3 cup sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup plus 1 tablespoon all purpose flour
- Pinch of salt
Filling:
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 2 large eggs
- Pinch of salt
- 1/4 cup all purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, diced
- 2 6-ounce containers fresh raspberries
preparation
For crust:
Position rack in center of oven and preheat to 375°F. Using rubber spatula or fork, mix melted butter, sugar, and vanilla in medium bowl. Add flour and salt and stir until incorporated. Transfer dough to 9-inch-diameter tart pan with removable bottom. Using fingertips, press dough evenly onto sides and bottom of pan.

Bake crust until golden, about 18 minutes (crust will puff slightly while baking). Transfer crust to rack and cool in pan. Maintain oven temperature.
For filling:
Whisk sugar, eggs, and salt in medium bowl to blend. Add flour and vanilla; whisk until smooth. Cook butter in heavy small saucepan over medium heat until deep nutty brown (do not burn), stirring often, about 6 minutes. Immediately pour browned butter into glass measuring cup. Gradually whisk browned butter into sugar-egg mixture; whisk until well blended.

Arrange raspberries, pointed side up and close together in concentric circles, in bottom of cooled crust. Carefully pour browned butter mixture evenly over berries. Place tart on rimmed baking sheet. Bake tart until filling is puffed and golden and tester inserted into center comes out clean, about 40 minutes. Cool tart completely in pan on rack. DO AHEAD: Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and store at room temperature.
Remove tart pan sides. Place tart on platter. Cut into wedges and serve.
