|
113 g unsalted butter cut in small cubes
3 tbls very cold water

1 tsp ground cinnamon
4 tbls sultanas
2 tbls orange juice

  |
Flour lightly the worktop; roll out the pastry until it covers a tart tin. There will be some excess dough overhanging the edges.
|
  |
Trim it from the edges and reserve the excess pastry for later as it will be re-rolled and cut into strips to cover the tart filling. Coerce the pastry into the tin. Place it in the fridge to chill it.
|
|
|
Preheat the oven to 180°C, gas mark 6.
|
   |
Fill a pastry case with the rhubarb mixture and pop in the fridge for 10 minutes to chill it. Remove the filled tart and the pastry from the fridge. Roll out the excessed and chilled pastry, cut it in the strips and then place them on the tart to form a check.

Pop in the oven and bake 25-30 minutes. Remove from the oven and cool. Sprinkle with icing sugar. Serve warm or completely cool with vanilla ice cream or custard.
