Description
Use fresh cherries and good Kirsch!
Ingredients
- 1 ⅛ cups confectioners' sugar
- ⅞ cup butter
- 5 ⅜ cups cake flour
- 3 eggs
- ½ teaspoon orange flower water
- 2 pounds sour cherries, pitted
- 3 eggs, room temperature
- ¼ cup all-purpose flour
- 1 fluid ounce kirschwasser
- 2 cups heavy whipping cream
- 1 cup white sugar
Directions
- 1. To Make Dough: Cream the confectioners' sugar and 3 eggs together in a large bowl. Stir in the orange flower water. Add the butter or margarine, and mix well. Slowly add the cake flour, blending only to combine. Scrape onto a piece of plastic, and wrap. Chill for at least 1 hour. Roll dough out on a floured surface, and fit into a 11 inch tart pan. Make sure there are no holes in the dough.
- 2. Place the cherries into the tart shell. Fit as many as you can in in one layer.
- 3. To Make Filling: Using a mixer, cream together the 3 eggs, 1/4 cup flour, kirsch, cream, and white sugar until smooth. Pour over the cherries.
- 4. Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for about 40 minutes, or until the filling is just set. Allow to cool. Serve warm or at room temperature.
