It's Tuesday with Dorie, and this month, for my first recipe, I chose the Caramel Tart. It's basically a caramel custard baked inside Dorie's sweet shortcrust pastry.
Yeah nah - mine doesn't look anything like the pretty food stylist's photograph on the Web:
When I re-read the recipe, I realised that the two separate layers resulted from leaving the foam on the filling of the tart. Despite my tart being somewhat of an ugly duckling, it tasted good. I liked it slightly warm, and it was even better when I did what I was told and allowed it to chill completely.

Caramel did it for me! It sounds delicious and pass it this way, please!
That looks so good I would find it hard to let it cool completely before eating
It still sounds delicious! I wonder if you strained it through a fine sieve that might get rid of the foam? They should tell you that in the recipe though!
Taste always counts! Anything caramel has to be a winner in my book.
I noted the bit about the foam in the recipe right away - but I think yours looks pretty too! I can't wait to make this!
The layer effect of the caramel tart looks charming to me. Taste is everything.
As long as it tastes good…it is a winner!
Good to know on the chill... i have a hard time waiting sometimes!
yes, it's the taste that counts. looking forward to trying this out next time.
Mine sort of looked like that too. I managed to crop my picture to avoid some of the frothy party. It was delicious though.
I actually saw the note about skimming the foam and chose to ignore it. It was such a delicious tart, it didn't matter how it looked in the end.
Caramel custard??? I'm in love with this fabulous tart!!!
Sometimes ugly duckling results taste the best - although I think this looks good anyway!
Looking forward to making this tomorrow.
oh, that looks soooo good. I love caramel. And in a tart, yes please.
