- In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, and yeast.
- Meanwhile, melt the margarine with the milk in the microwave for 30 seconds.
- Incorporate the melted butter and mix.
- Add the eggs one by one to obtain a fairly soft ball of dough.
- Place the dough on baking paper and spread it into a disc of about 30 cm using the back of a spoon. Let it rest for 2 hours at about 25°C.
- Mix the egg yolk with the milk and spread it over the pastry. Then, sprinkle with sugar and dot with 5 small pieces of butter. Bake for 25 minutes at 200°C (400°F).
Yes, you can prepare the tart in advance and store it at room temperature. To reheat it without the sugar hardening, gently warm it in the oven at 150°C (300°F) for about 10 minutes. This will allow the sugar to melt slightly again without altering the texture of the filling. Avoid using a microwave, as this could make the filling too runny.
