DELICIOUS ASPARAGUS TART


DELICIOUS ASPARAGUS TART
This tart I have made for many years. It is always a hit at parties for young and old. Simple to make.
Dough:
2 cups cake flour
2 oz butter
½ teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon sugar
2 level teaspoons Baking powder
4 oz milk
Rub butter well into flour with fingertips. Add milk to make dough. Press into buttered tart dish.
Filling:
2 large onions
2 tablespoons butter
1 tin asparagus
125 ml cream
1 egg
½ cup grated cheddar cheese
Slice onions in rings. Fry in butter. Put on top of dough. Put tin of asparagus on top of onions. Beat and mix together cream and egg. Pour over onion and asparagus. Top with grated cheese. Bake 200ºC for 20 minutes.
I often add a tin of slices mushrooms as well with the asparagus.
ENJOY
