Morello Cherry Tarts


Morello Cherry Tarts

• 200g butter, softened                                  
• 200 g (1 C) powder sugar
• 40 g (1/4) potato or corn starch
• 1 tsp. vanilla extract or 1 T. vanilla sugar
• 4 eggs (separated)
• Zest from 1 lemon
• 200 g (2 C) flour
• 1 tsp. double acting baking powder
• pinch salt
• 1 1/2 lb. pitted morello cherries, frozen are OK
• bread crumbs

Crumble
150 g (1-1/2  C) flour
120 g (1 stick US) unsalted cold butter
80 g (1/3 C) powder desugar
Use a 10" (25 cm) round spring form pan and 6 x 3.5" (9 cm) otherwise you could try a 9 x 13 inch (20x30 cm) baking pan, but the baking times will be different. Butter and bread crumb it. Set aside.
Cream the butter with the sugar and vanilla or vanilla sugar. Beat in eggs yolks, one at a time. Mix in lemon zest.
Mix the flour with the baking powder and salt. Beat into the egg mixture. Now beat the egg whites until stiff and fold them in gently by hand, no beating.
Prepare the crumble by quickly cutting all ingredients together and rubbing with your fingers. I use my mini food processor for that.
Spread the batter into the baking pan. Place the cherries on top and sprinkle with the crumble mixture.
Bake at 175-180°C / 350°F for 30-40 minutes until golden brown.
