Today, I propose a delicious seasonal tart - a biscuit tart with black cherries. It consists of a shortcrust pastry and black cherries, topped with a soft biscuit dough. An original and delightful combination.

Sweet shortcrust pastry
 150 Flour
 65 Sugar
 2 Baking powder
 80 cold butter
 1 Egg
Cookie dough
 3 Egg (whites and yolks separated)
 100 Sugar
 80 melted butter
 100 Flour
In addition
 300 black cherry
Directions
1

Prepare the shortcrust pastry. In a mixing bowl, add the flour, sugar, and baking powder. Blend for a few seconds to combine. Add the cold butter cut into cubes and blend again to incorporate it into the flour. Add the egg and blend until a dough ball forms.

2

Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1 hour.

3

In the meantime, prepare the cookie dough. In a bowl, add the egg whites and whisk them until stiff peaks form.

4

In another bowl, whisk the egg yolks with the sugar. Add the melted and cooled butter and mix a bit to incorporate it. Add the flour and mix again to achieve a smooth dough. Add the egg whites in 3 batches and gently fold them in using a spatula.

5

Pit the cherries and cut them in half.

6

Preheat the oven to 180°C, static heat.

7

Roll out the shortcrust pastry and line a greased 24 cm tart pan, preferably with a removable bottom.

8

Place the cherries on the tart base and pour the cookie dough over them.

9

Bake for 30 minutes or until the pie is golden.

10

To finish, let cool, remove from the mold, and sprinkle with powdered sugar.
