Pour sugar, salt and flour in a sifter and sift them into a bowl.
Add sliced butter in the flour and blend them together until it looks like coarse cornmeal.
Spray 4 tablespoon of ice cold water on the dough while mixing after every 1 tablespoon. Make a ball of the dough, wrap it in plastic and place it in the refrigerator for an hour.
In a small saucepan add granulated sugar and myrtilles and cook them on medium flame until the sugar has dissolved. Remove the myrtilles from the pan and keep on cooking the sugar until it has thickened.
Return myrtilles back to saucepan and remove from heat.
Preheat the oven at 375° F.
On a floured surface, flatten the dough using a rolling pin into a ¼" thickpastry. Place it in a 9"tart pan and prick it all over using a fork.
Cover the pastry pan with an aluminum foil and bake in the oven for 20 minutes. When done, remove and cool completely.
Once cooled, spread the raspberry preserves in the tart shell and add a scoop of myrtilles berries on the top. Garnish with confectioners' sugar and serve the delicious La Tarte Aux Myrtilles.
Trivia:
Bilberry is a tough plant that can survive in the wild for 2 years.
For centuries, people have used the fruit and leaves of bilberry for treating various diseases.
In 16th century, syrup of bilberry was used to treat diarrhea.
The French word tarte can be translated to mean either pie or tart, as both are mainly the same except a pie usually covers the filling in pastry, while flans and tarts leave it open. Tarts are thought to have either come from a tradition of layering food or to be a product of Medieval pie making.
Au, à la, à l' and aux are all ways of saying 'to the' or 'at the'. For example, in order to say 'I work at the cinema' in French, we would say 'je travaille au cinéma'. We use the different variants au, à la, à l' and aux depending on the gender and number of the noun which follows.
But, while the formulas of the Tarte brand are high-quality, the look and feel of them is more playful and fun with bright colors. Regardless, their takeover of my cosmetics case was swift. Below are 15 of my go-to's, with my top 5 detailed first.
In the world of French pastries, nothing is as classic and delicious as a Tarte Aux Fruits (Fruit Tart in English.) With its buttery tart shell cradling a creamy rich pastry cream and an array of vibrant fresh fruits, this dessert is just the best.
It starts with a thin, crisp crust with hand-braided edges, topped with crème fraîche and a velvety Emmental cheese sauce.Next, white mushrooms and oyster mushrooms are added in abundance—and it's their intense, woody, earthy flavors that elevate this flatbread to its deserved level of distinction.
