Total time: 1 hour
Number of servings: 8
Ingredients needed
For the dough:
- 225 g flour
- 150 g cold butter (cubed)
- 45 g sugar
- 1 egg yolk
- A pinch of salt
- 2-3 tablespoons cold water
For the filling:
- 600 g fresh raspberries
- 180 g sugar
- 1 sachet vanilla sugar
For the crumble:
- 85 g roasted and ground almonds
- 115 g flour
- 115 g cold butter (cubed)
- 2 teaspoons cinnamon
Step by step in making the Crantz
1. Preparing the raspberries
Start by washing the raspberries well and letting them drain. In a bowl, mix the raspberries with 150 g of sugar and 4-5 tablespoons of semolina. The semolina helps absorb the juice from the raspberries, preventing the filling from becoming too runny. Let the raspberries drain in a colander for about 15-20 minutes. This step is essential for achieving the perfect texture.
2. Preparing the dough
In a food processor, add the flour, cold butter, sugar, egg yolk, and salt. Mix everything until the ingredients are well combined and you achieve a crumb-like consistency.
Gradually add the cold water, one tablespoon at a time, until the dough begins to come together. Form a ball from the dough, wrap it in plastic wrap, and let it rest in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. This resting time will help the dough become tender and easy to roll out.
3. Preparing the crumble
In a separate bowl, combine the ground almonds, flour, cold butter, and cinnamon. Use your fingers to mix the ingredients until you achieve a crumb-like texture. These crumbs will add a crunchy and flavorful crust over the juicy raspberries.
4. Assembling the tart
Preheat the oven to 190°C. Remove the dough from the refrigerator and roll it out on a floured surface until it reaches a thickness of about 0.5 cm. Transfer the dough to a round baking dish lined with butter and flour. Prick the base of the dough with a fork to prevent air bubbles from forming.
Cover the dough with parchment paper and place dried beans or a weight on top to keep it flat during baking. Bake the dough in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, then remove the paper and beans and bake for another 5 minutes. The dough should be lightly golden.
5. Final assembly
After the dough is baked, remove it from the oven and add the drained raspberries on top, leveling them well. Then cover with the crumble mixture, ensuring it is evenly distributed.
Return the dish to the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes or until the crumble turns golden and crispy.
