The wonder of fruit cake~

Dear all~ Today I proudly present the Grape Fruit Tart that I made yesterday. I tried it this morning since I need to put it into the fridge first. It's DELICIOUS!!



The tutorial for the Fruit Tart are in the videos below:
Ingredients for Crust (pâte sucrée):
200g white flour (1 1/3 cup)
1 tbsp sugar(don't add it if you are making the savory version called pâte brisée)
1/2 tsp salt
100g unsalted butter (one stick)
1 egg whisked
1 or 2 tbsp cold water(if necessary)



Since I can't find cream or double cream in any store in my area I used the other recipe for pastry cream. I didn't add vanilla essence and liquor in My Pastry cream.

Pastry Cream Recipe:

1 1/4 cups (300 ml) milk (whole or 2%)
1/2 vanilla bean, split lengthwise or 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract or vanilla bean paste
3 large egg yolks
1/4 cup (50 grams) granulated white sugar
2 tablespoons (20 grams) all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons (20 grams) cornstarch (corn flour)
1/2 tablespoon liqueur (Grand Marnier, Brandy, Kirsch) (optional)
