Ingredients
  

  • 1⅔ cups of whole wheat pas­try flour all pur­pose is an accept­able substitute
  • cup of white sugar
  • 2 tsp bak­ing powder
  • 5 tbs cold but­ter diced, plus more for greas­ing the tart bak­ing dish
  • pinch of salt
  • ½ cup buttermilk
  • 1 egg
  • fresh straw­ber­ries topped
  • pow­dered sugar for dusting

Instructions
 

  • Pre­heat the oven to 375F. But­ter a 11 inch tart bak­ing dish (use one with a remov­able bottom).
  • In a medium bowl, com­bine the flour, sugar, bak­ing pow­der and salt. Mix well. Add the but­ter and rub it in with your fin­ger­tips until the mix­ture is coarse and sandy.
  • Add the but­ter­milk and egg and mix until just combined.
  • Spoon into the tart dish, ensur­ing that it forms an even crust and fits into the grooves of the tart shell edge. Don’t over­fill, the cake will rise quite a bit.
  • Press the straw­ber­ries into the cake. Bake for 30 min­utes, or until golden brown, bub­bly and a wooden skewer inserted into the mid­dle comes out clean.
  • Dust with pow­dered sugar and serve.
