Ingredients: 2 1/2
Cups
Flour 2
Teaspoons
Baking Powder 1/4
Teaspoon
Salt 1
Cup
Unsalted Butter 1
Cup
Sour Cream 2
Cups
Milk 1/2
Cup
Sugar 1/4
Cup
Flour 5
Eggs 1/4
Teaspoon
Salt 1
Teaspoon
Vanilla 1
Teaspoon
Almond Extract 2
Teaspoons
Cinnamon 1/2
Cup
Brown Sugar
Directions:
1.
Preheat oven to 400.
2.
For the crust, combine the flour, baking powder and salt in food processor. Add butter and process until flour resembles coarse cornmeal. Add sour cream and process until mixture forms a ball. On a floured surface, roll out the dough to fit and 11 x 13-inch baking sheet or a 14-inch round pizza pan. Carefully lift the dough and lay it out flat on the pan. Crimp the edges to form a rim (this may disappear during baking!) and pierce the dough with a fork in several places. Bake for
25-30 minutes until crisp and golden.
3.
Meanwhile, make the custard by heating the milk to boiling. Combine the sugar, flour, eggs, and salt in a blender. When the milk begins to foam, pour it slowly into the whirling blender. Pour the custard back into the saucepan and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, for 3-5 minutes, until thickened. Remove from the heat and stir in the vanilla and almond extracts.
4.
When the crust has baked, spread the custard filling evenly over it. Generously sprinkle the top with cinnamon and brown sugar. Return the tart to the oven for about 15 minutes, until the brown sugar melts and the top is firm. Serve warm or cold.
