I woke up this morning with vague plans- go to the farmers market, go for a walk, start my taxes...holy crap its Tuesday! And not just any Tuesday, Tuesdays With Dorie Tuesday...the Tuesday that Dorie Greenspan herself picked the recipe!! I cannot flake on this one. What is she reads this! What if I FAIL!!!Ok, ok remain calm. It's only 8:30am, you have plenty of time. Check the fridge- no eggs, no butter, oh geez not off to a very good start. Get dressed, run to the store, ok its 9:10, plenty of time. Pull out the groceries, wait- where's the butter?! Get back in the car, go to a different grocery store (too embarrassing to go back to the same one), buy butter (2 for $6 sweet!) and head straight to the kitchen. 2 hours, 2 tartlettes, and a small sigh of relief later...
Not a total disaster, I daresay even a success. They smell divine (hey get your nose off your computer screen!) and can't wait to share them with my cousin this afternoon. Thank you Dorie for this, and all your wonderful recipes in Baking, and for being an inspiration to us all.
They ARE divine. You and your cousin will love them, and I'm keeping canned pears on hand just to make this!
ReplyDeleteYour tartlets look fantastic. You can't even tell you made them at the last minute.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to make this recipe again! Next time, I'm making minis, they are too cute! :)
ReplyDeleteThey look great!!
ReplyDeleteI need a tart pan!
Gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteI used my spring form pan for mine.
I had to laugh at your grocery run story. I have made multiple trips myself many times. I'm glad your tart turned out so well!
ReplyDeletethe minis are very cute and taxes already? In some ways you are way ahead of the game.
ReplyDeleteAdorable little tartlettes! You did a fabuluous job. Any left?
ReplyDeleteThis tart is a real winner...and I'm happy you liked it as much as we all did!
ReplyDeleteThese were so good! I made tartlets too, and they were wonderful. My chocolate loving family devoured them. I ended up with five 4" tarts and we split a couple the first night and when I got home from work the next day the remaining ones were gone!
ReplyDeleteAs the cousin in question, I can testify to say that the tarlette tasted even better than it looked! Simply divine, my hubby and I thoroughly enjoyed our treat. Thank you Beryl for our tasty tart - you're the best! I'll be your guinea pig anytime! xx
ReplyDeleteLooks fabulous. I need to get some mini pans! Hope you enjoyed them.
ReplyDeleteWow -- such dedication! I hope the tarts were adequate reward.
ReplyDeleteThose tarts are adorable! Nice job!
ReplyDeleteTwo trips to the store later, I hope you enjoyed them. They look great!
