I was super excited to use my new tart pan for this week's recipe! I made half of the recipe and made half a tart. I didn't quite make the barrier of crust high enough so there was some unfortunate seepage and burning - but in the end it worked fine.
The tart before baking:
And after:
I let my orange slices dry overnight, which I think was a good call. I tried a slice on the day I made the tart, but found the oranges a little bitter. The next day I tried it again and had no problem with the oranges. Hmmm... maybe my taste buds were off! I guess I'll see how it is on the third day tomorrow! I think I over baked it a a little, but all in all I am very happy with how it turned out!
By the way... this is the 20th recipe from
Around My French Table, and seeing as I only have skipped one recipe thus far, I've made 19 recipes from this book. That's amazing. I don't think I have made that many recipes out of any of my cookbooks!

I like your creativity in making half a tart! Congrats on 19 recipes out of the same book! That is a feat, for sure.
ReplyDeleteLooks really good! I felt like I overbaked mine too, but it was still tasty! I will make it again and see if I can get it a right.
ReplyDeleteWow, what a cool idea! Your half-tart looks really good.
ReplyDeleteYour 20th recipe! OMG me too! Thanks for pointing that out. I've never made 20 recipes out of any cookbook. Crazy!
ReplyDeleteAnd your 1/2 tart was truly genius.
:)
I am stunned that your half tart turned out so well. What a great idea.
ReplyDeleteThanks everyone! I remembered seeing a post on Cakespy in which she made half of a pie, so that gave me the idea that it was possible! http://www.cakespy.com/blog/2011/1/4/slice-of-life-bob-andy-pie-recipe-from-dangerously-delicious.html
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea - your half tart looks great!
ReplyDeleteIt never occurred to me that one can make half a tart. You've proven me wrong! Glad you enjoyed the recipe.
ReplyDeleteI agree with the other comments about how cool your 1/2 tart idea worked out. Looks lovely. I also agree with your delight about actually using a cookbook. If Nana and I were not doing this blog there is absolutely no way I would have tried this amount of recipes and I'm really glad we stepped out of the ordinary to try these delights....esp this tart !
