SOUR CHERRY BARS (A VERY EASY TART RECIPE)

Steps:

• Melt the butter, add sugar immediately and mix well. Allow cooling slightly.
• Then add 2 eggs and grated zest to the butter and mix again.
• Add flour, baking powder and knead a soft dough
• Put 1/3 of the dough in the freezer (we'll need it later to put on top of the tart)
• Place the remaining 2/3 of the dough in a baking dish (you can roll it or just press with your fingers so that the dough fills the entire baking dish and its sides)
• Spread the jam over the top
• Now take the pastry from the freezer and grate it over the top of the jam. Use a thick grater.
• Preheat the oven to 180 °C (350F) and bake the tart for 30-40 minutes until golden brown. Wait until it cools down, cut into bars or squares.

SOUR-CHERRY CRUMBLE BARS

Steps:

• Crust: Preheat oven to 375°F. Butter an 8-inch square cake pan. Line with parchment, leaving a 2-inch overhang on two sides; butter parchment.
• Beat butter with sugar on medium-high speed until pale and fluffy, about 3 minutes, scraping down bowl as needed. Reduce speed to medium-low, add flour and salt, and beat until dough forms clumps but does not completely hold together. Press 2 1/2 cups flour mixture into bottom and 1 inch up sides of prepared pan.
• Filling: In a medium bowl, stir together cherries, sugar, flour, lemon juice, and salt. Pour into crust. Crumble remaining flour mixture (about 1/2 cup) evenly over top, squeezing to create clumps.
• Bake until bubbling in center and crust is golden, about 1 hour, 10 minutes (if browning too quickly, tent top with foil). Transfer to a wire rack and let cool at least 20 minutes before slicing into squares.
