Sweet Potato Tart
- 150 grams Cake flour
- 25 grams Almond Powder
- 80 grams Butter
- 2 tbsp Powdered sugar
- 1 Egg yolk (medium)
- 2 tsp Water
- 500 grams Japanese sweet potato
- 80 ml Milk
- 30 grams Margarine or butter
- 2 medium Egg yolks plus 80 g sugar
- 2 tbsp Heavy cream or milk
- 1 Egg yolk for the egg wash
- 1 tsp Water for the egg wash
- Have the butter cut into 1 cm cubes and frozen.
- Put the butter and the sifted dry ingredients into a food processor and process until the whole thing becomes grainy.
- Add the ingredients marked with to the food processor and blend.
- Turn out the dough onto a work bench and knead it a bit.
- Then shape it into a round disk and cover with plastic wrap and chill in the fridge for at least 1 hour (prepare it on the day before if you can).
- Cut the sweet potato into bite-sized chunks and soak in water.
- Then drain it, add the milk, cover it with plastic wrap, and microwave it for 8-10 minutes.
- Mash the potato afterward.
- Add the margarine, the sugar, and the egg yolk in that order to Step 4 and mix thoroughly after each addition.
- Finally, add the cream and mix well.
- Turn out the chilled dough onto a work surface dusted with flour and roll it out to a thickness of 4-5 mm.
- Line the tart pan with the dough, and cut off the excess dough with a knife (you can freeze the leftovers).
- Dock the dough, cover with aluminum foil, put a pie weight on it, and bake in an oven preheated to 180C for 10-15 minutes.
- Let the crust cool after it has been baked.
- Fill the tart crust (Step 7) with the filling (Step 5).
- Brush on some egg wash (egg yolk mixed with water), and sprinkle on some black sesame seeds if you desire.
- Bake for 20 minutes at 190C, then raise the temperature to 220C and bake for about 10 more minutes (adjust baking time as to not burn it).
- When it's done baking, place on a wire rack and cool.
- Take it out of the tart pan once it has cooled.
- Cut up into your desired size.
- Depending on the oven you use, baking time and temperatures may vary.
- Please pay attention and adjust accordingly.
- If you don't have heavy cream, you can substitute it with milk, but it'll turn out more moist and tasty with the cream.
- Adjust the amount of sugar depending on how sweet the potato is.
- You can make this with an toaster oven as well: https://cookpad.com/en/recipes/143577-easy-delicious-sweet-potato-cakes
