Ingredients
  

  • 2 tbsp flour all purpose
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 2 eggs large
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 3 cups raspberries
For the Pate Sucree
  • 2 1/2 cup flour all purpose
  • 3 tbsp sugar
  • 1 cup unsalted butter chilled, and cut into small cubes
  • 2 egg yolks
  • 1/4 cup ice water

Equipment

  • Food processor optional
  • Tart pan optional

Method
 

  1. For the Pate Sucree, in a food processor, combine flour and sugar. Add butter, and process until mixture resembles course sand, 10 - 20 seconds.
  2. In a small bowl, lightly beat egg yolks; add ice water. Add the egg mixture slowley and pulse until dough comes together but be careful not to overmix.
  3. Place dough on a sheet of plastic wrap and flatten out to a disk, then wrap. Let the dough chill down in the fridge for about an hour. Once chilled, roll dough out on a lightly floured surface until its about 1/4 inch thick.
  4. Line the dough in the tart pan with parchment paper and fill with pie weights. Bake until edges begin to turn golden, 20 - 30 minutes. Remove weights and parchment and bake until crust is just cooked through, approximately another 10 - 15 minutes. Let cool on a wire rack.
  5. Reduce oven temprature to 350℉. Whisk flour and 1/2 cup sugar in a medium bowl. Add cream and whisk until the fjour is fully incorporated.
  6. Toss raspberries, remaining sugar, and the salt in a medium bowl. Spoon berries into crust, then pour into the cream mixture, filling to just below the rim. Bake until custard is set, approximately 45 - 50 minutes. Cool on a wire rack, then cover loosely, refrigerate for a least 2 hours (or up to 24 hrs).
