Semolina savory tart

It is one of those long days when I can experiment uninterrupted because everyone else is away. Experimenting with flour is now easier with the stand mixer always on standby in the kitchen corner.

Post Chinese New Year, I found some ham, semolina flour and a block of cheese still uneaten. After some Kitchen Aid magic, this is what turned out.

Verdict ? Light crunch, some savory and a little sweet with orange overtones. Worth the washing up that came with the experiment.

2 medium tarts.

Ingredients :

A)

40g plain flour _ 1 tsp baking powder

40g semolina flour

50g suar

50g almond meal

½ tsp orange zest

B)

3 eggs

125g melted unsalted butter

C)

80g chopped ham

cheese slivers for topping

Method :

Combine A in a bowl. Set aside.

Whisk egg on high until volume triples. Drizzle butter on the side of the mixer bowl and fold into the egg mix ( paddle on Kitchen Aid ).

Add (A) and fold into the egg mix.

Pour batter into mini pie trays. Top with cheese.
