T’ART: Not Exactly A Tart But A Delicious Baking Mix
Jump to the article index below
CAPSULE REPORT: When baking a new recipe, you never know what will emerge from the oven. It could be much better than you expected or no big deal. It could be different/good or different/not so good.
When the creator of T’ART baking mix asked if we would try her product, she didn’t have to twist our arm. We love the opportunity to bake something new.
We thought we’d be making tarts. But T’ART turned out to be much different—not a tart at all, except that we baked it in a tart pan. In any pan, it would have been a hit.
What’s A Tart?
A tart is a baked pastry with a buttery pastry crust. It’s filled with a rich, firm filling. A tart is related to an open-face pie, but there are significant differences between pies and tarts.
What’s A T’ART?
While you can bake it in a tart pan (you can use any baking pan), a bag of T’ART mix does not produce a tart. There’s no crust. The batter looks like creamy polenta. And what emerges from the oven is a delicious rustic cake: a cross between a loaf cake (think carrot cake) and a fruit-filled muffin.
T’ART is a real find. It’s as good with brunch as it is an all-occasion dessert. The minute we finished our first T’ART (made with fresh blueberries), we wanted to bake another.
You can use any fruit or combination of fruits (even frozen fruit), or make a vegetable T’ART. It’s so easy that it will instill confidence in the beginning baker as it lets the experienced baker whip up something delectable with no effort.
T’ART (the name is a combination of tart and art) began as a recipe developed by Linda Amir. She’d bring the ingredients to dinners and parties with friends, and bake a delicious dessert to be enjoyed warm from the oven, the baking aromas filling the air. Everybody loved it. And inevitably, friends and family urged her to consider marketing a baking mix.
How To Serve Your T’ART
It took no garnishing whatsoever for us to demolish the entire T’ART. Moist and luscious, the lily needed no gilding.
However, for a special occasion, you can add:
