Anyway, here we are. I will try and get better about putting things here and on my canning blog, especially as canning season gets here later this summer. That said, our new baby boy will be arriving in late August or early September, so things are still going to be very, very busy.
The recipe for my latest delicious treat comes from my wonderful, beautiful friend Julie. She got this recipe from her grandmother, so just imagine the history I am sharing with you all today!
This is an incredibly quick and easy dessert, and I would think that most people have the ingredients on hand most of the time. Well, except for maybe the fruit and, people, you should have fresh fruit around all the time. It's healthy. Eat it.
For this wonderful concoction, you will need the following:
- 6 tablespoons milk
- 6 tablespoons sugar
- 6 tablespoons oil
- 12 tablespoons floor
- 2 whole eggs
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- Fresh fruit of your choice. This time, I used peaches and raspberries.
What to do:
1. Measure your flour into a bowl, 12 tablespoons.
2. Add 6 tablespoons of sugar and 1 teaspoon baking powder.
3. Mix together 6 tablespoons milk and 6 tablespoons oil together.
4. Add your milk/oil mixture to your dry ingredients along with 2 eggs.
5. Mix well. Look, it bubbles! I tasted the batter; it tastes like very sweet pancake batter.
6. Now, Julie suggested lining your pie pan with parchment paper to make it easier to get your tarte out. However, the parchment paper and I had a slight disagreement, so I opted to just butter the hell out of the pie pan. Butter makes everything better.
7. Pour your batter into your pan. Bubbles!
8. Prepare your fresh fruit. I used about 2-1/2 fresh peaches, sliced and peeled. Yeah, I kind of mangled the over ripe one a bit. It still tasted good.
9. And raspberries. I used maybe 12-15 berries total.
10. Place your fruit into your batter. Try and shuffle the fruit so the batter covers it. Obviously, my raspberries had other ideas. I did a ring of peaches, then a ring of raspberries, a ring of peaches, and some raspberries in the middle. But, hey, whatever you want to do. Have fun!
11. Bake at 400° for 15-20 minutes until golden brown. It should look something like this:
12. While it's still warm, feel free to sprinkle some powdered sugar on top to finish it off. I didn't take a picture of that part, though, so you'll have to use your imaginations.
And that's it! Quick, simple, and delicious! Imagine all the different fruit combinations you could try. Like, adding some cinnamon to the batter and using apples. Or fresh pineapple or pears or blackberries. I'm even trying to figure out a way you could add a cream cheese filling of some type to it. Lots and lots of possibilities here. Have fun and ENJOY!
