Tarte Vaudoise

If you want to impress your guests with minimalism, here’s the ticket: a crust with a little sweetened cream on it. Ridiculously simple but—like a simple sugar cookie—enormously enjoyable. And be assured that this and the variation are traditional recipes. This is best with good, thick heavy cream, not ultrapasteurized. It’s worth a trip to a nearby farm or farmers’ market if that’s possible.

Ingredients

makes about 8 servings

1 Sweet Tart Pastry (page 654)
1/2 cup sugar
1 1/2 cups heavy or sour cream
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

  1. Step 1

    Preheat the oven to 450°F. After refrigerating the dough, prick it all over with a fork. Combine the sugar and cream and spread the mixture over the bottom of the dough. Sprinkle with cinnamon.

    Step 2

    Bake until the crust is golden brown, 10 to 15 minutes; cool completely before serving.

  2. Tarte au Sucre

    Step 3

    Use 1/2 cup brown sugar creamed with 1 egg and 2 tablespoons butter. Omit the cream and cinnamon and proceed as directed.
