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!
ReplyDeleteThat looks so good I would find it hard to let it cool completely before eating
ReplyDeleteIt 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!
ReplyDeleteTaste always counts! Anything caramel has to be a winner in my book.
ReplyDeleteI 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!
ReplyDeleteThe layer effect of the caramel tart looks charming to me. Taste is everything.
ReplyDeleteAs long as it tastes good…it is a winner!
ReplyDeleteGood to know on the chill... i have a hard time waiting sometimes!
ReplyDeleteyes, it's the taste that counts. looking forward to trying this out next time.
ReplyDeleteMine sort of looked like that too. I managed to crop my picture to avoid some of the frothy party. It was delicious though.
ReplyDeleteI 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.
ReplyDeleteCaramel custard??? I'm in love with this fabulous tart!!!
ReplyDeleteSometimes ugly duckling results taste the best - although I think this looks good anyway!
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to making this tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteoh, that looks soooo good. I love caramel. And in a tart, yes please.
