Directions
Leek and Chanterelle Tart, This recipe includes an easy salt-and-pepper crust If you choose to use a frozen crust make sure it does not include sugar You can also substitute button or crimini mushrooms for the chanterelles , I’m so happy to have found this recipe In 2005 I made this & lost the recipe when we moved in 2009 The original recipe was from a magazine, I can’t remember which one it was This is sooo good& I can’t wait to make it again for Christmas ! Thank You cookiedog This is what it look’s like , My rating is for the crust alone It is wonderful!
I’m a baker at heart and really like this recipe However, I did make a few alterations:
Instead of dribbling water, used 4 tbsp freezer chilled vodka The alcohol will bake out and an extremely flaky crust remains I also chilled my butter in the freezer before using The frozen pats dont fully blend and again, make for a nice flaky + buttery crust
