Memorial Day Quick Classic Berry Tart

Dorie Greenspan mentions in her book Baking that this tart is found in every patisserie in France. She's probably right although I wouldn't know because I gravitated to anything chocolate or mousse-like when I drooled over a patisserie window.

I say window because I couldn't afford patisserie as a college student. I lived at the boulangerie instead and gorged on chocolate and almond croissants. 

My favorite boulangerie moment is when we left a boîte late one night -- or so early in the morning -- that a boulanger had already arrived at his shop and was busy baking for the day. We knocked on his back window and bought freshly baked croissants and ate them walking through the empty streets back to our apartments. Sweet moment indeed.

Recipe Here.
