Strawberry Meringue Tart

Those drops you could see at meringues are called Angels tears. There is a different recipe of cake, which is usually made with quark and I didn't want to follow it. They appeard surprisingly on the meringue surface after night staying in the fridge. Like a bonus )))  

This tart was made like a second session with dough and egg whites left from my first annual Strawberry Tart ))) And it still was good ))) So if you want to repeat, please follow the steps listed  below. ))

For dough:

1 cup AP flour

1 stick butter
3 oz sugar 1 egg

zest from 1 lemon
3 drops of vanilla extraite
pinch of salt

Mix butter, sugar, salt, zest and vanilla. Pour egg and stir until smooth. Add flour and knead the dough quickly. Make a ball, wrap into a film and fridge at least 1 hour. 

Roll out the dough, put onto the pan, layed with greased parchment paper. Put over another sheet of paper and beans in order daogh not the increase and put into preheated for 375F oven for 20 minutes or until golden. 

For filling:

 0,5-0,7 kg of strawberries 

2 eggs and 2 egg yolks

3/4 cups of milk

1 cup of sugar

Smash strawberries in the blender, add milk, eggs, yolks and sugar and pour over the baked dough. You can wrap tart edges with two layers of foil in order to avoid overbaking. 

Bake tart for 20 minutes or until filling will harden like a souflee.  

For meringue:

6 egg whites

1 cup sugar

pinch of salt

Whisk whites with salt, then add sugar and continue to whisk until firm peaks. Put over baked tart using pastry bag or just with a spoon. Bake for another 10 minutes or until start to golden. Turn oven off and let tart stay into for 40 minutes.

Decor with strawberries and mint )))))
