Cherry tart is a true embodiment of French pastry elegance. This dessert combines delicate crumbly dough with a juicy, aromatic cherry filling accented by light notes of cinnamon. The dish's origins trace back to the traditions of French tarts, where fruit fillings play a central role. The cherry adds a refreshing tartness that is harmoniously balanced by the sweetness of sugar syrup. It is perfect as a refined conclusion to a meal or an exquisite accompaniment to a cup of tea. It pairs wonderfully with a scoop of vanilla ice cream that highlights its fruity depth. This treat not only delights the taste buds but also creates an atmosphere of coziness and enjoyment with every bite.

Ingredients

• Wheat flour: 250 g
• Butter: 100 g
• Chicken egg: 1 pc
• Sour cream: 50 g
• Sugar: 150 g
• Salt: pinch
• Baking powder: 0.5 tsp
• Cherry: 600 g
• Potato starch: 3 tbsp
• Ground cinnamon: to taste

Cooking steps

1. Add baking powder, salt, and 2 tablespoons of sugar to the flour.

   Required ingredients:

   • Wheat flour: 250 g
   • Baking powder: 0.5 teaspoon
   • Salt:  pinch
   • Sugar: 150 g

2. Mix the flour mixture with cold butter and rub until a crumbly texture forms. This should be done quickly to prevent the butter from warming up.

   Required ingredients:

   • Butter: 100 g

3. We add an egg and sour cream.

   Required ingredients:

   • Chicken egg: 1 piece
   • Sour cream: 50 g

4. Knead a soft, smooth dough. Roll it into a ball and refrigerate for 40 minutes.

5. We place the prepared dough in the baking form and smooth it out with our fingers, forming edges about 1.5-2 cm high.

6. Place the mold with the dough in the refrigerator for 30 minutes. Remove it, poke the dough with a fork, cover the mold with foil, and bake in a preheated oven at 180 degrees for 15 minutes.

7. Next, we will prepare the filling. We remove the pits from the cherries (if there are any).

   Required ingredients:

   • Cherry: 600 g

8. We mix it with 100 g of sugar and cinnamon. We add starch and mix well again.

   Required ingredients:

   • Sugar: 150 g
   • Ground cinnamon:  to taste
   • Potato starch: 3 tablespoons

9. Heat on low flame (not necessarily to boiling), stirring constantly. It will turn into something like very thick jelly.

10. Take the dough base out of the oven and add the filling on top. Put it back in the oven for 20 minutes at the same temperature, without covering it with foil.
