Rhubarb Frangipane Tart

By

"You know there are some families that only go to church on Christmas and Easter?"
Yes.
"Do you think we could be a family who only eats white flour on Christmas and Easter?!?"
Fine.



I think I was in such a good mood at having located rhubarb that I assented...with a smile...and whipped up a rhubarb frangipane tart with a white flour crust.

Tart crust
2 C white flour
1/2 C powdered sugar
pinch of salt
3/4 C butter

Mix the flour, sugar and salt; rub in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse breadcrumbs. Stir in 1 teaspoon of water with a fork until the mixture forms a ball. Roll out between two pieces of parchment paper. Press gently into a tart pan. Prick crust with a fork to prevent bubbling. Bake for 20 minutes at 350, or until a light golden brown.
   
Frangipane
1/2 C ground almonds
1/2 C sliced almonds
1/4 C organic granulated sugar
1/4 C powdered sugar
2/3 C melted butter
1 large egg

Mix everything together to form a paste.

Once the tart crust is cooked, spread a layer of frangipane over the bottom. Slice the rhubarb into pieces and arrange them in concentric circles to cover the frangipane in a flower pattern. Sprinkle with sugar and bake for 50-55 minutes, until the rhubarb has softened.

Serve in modest slices with a dollop of unsweetened whipped cream.

    Frangipane and rhubarb are two of my most favorite things to eat Camilla! Sounds like you had a lovely Easter!

    Your post is one of the features on tomorrow's "A Little Birdie Told Me..." at Rook No. 17!

This month the French Winophiles group is looking at affordable wines from Burgundy.  Host Cindy of Grape Experiences wrote: "Burgundy, or Bourgogne, is known for its wines of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir... as well as Aligote, Gamay, Sauvignon, César, Pinot Beurot, Sacy, Melon in lesser quantities. Many of the well-known wines are quite expensive, but there are plenty of values to be found." Read her invitation here. And there won't be a Twitter chat for this event, so you will have to dive into the articles themselves to read about our pairings and findings. Here's the line-up...
