Orange Meringue Tarts
ORANGE MERINGUE TARTS
This recipe has been kindly supplied by Flourish reader Kay Aram.
Makes: Approximately 24 or a single medium sized pie.
INGREDIENTS:
Base:
Sweet Short Pastry
100g butter
200g plain flour
1 egg yolk
1 tablespoon caster sugar (optional)
100–125ml cold water (approx)
Filling
1 x 250g jar of Orange Butter (purchased or homemade)
Meringue:
2 egg whites
¼ cup caster sugar
METHOD:
- Prepare tart tray(s) by lightly greasing or spray with cooking spray.
- Make pastry by mixing butter into flour until mixture looks like breadcrumbs; add sugar, egg yolk and water to make short pastry. Add the water gradually as you may not need it all. Dough should not be too dry or too wet.
- Roll out on well floured surface, cut to tartlet sized shapes (I used my largest 7cm sized metal scone cutter), prick with a fork and place into trays.
- Option 1: Put bases in trays and bake empty for 10 min at 210C. They will rise in the centre, so just push the centre down gently while still hot and then cool before adding 1 teaspoon of Orange Butter to each.
- Option 2: Prick bases, place in trays and add 1 teaspoon of Orange Butter to each.
- Leave a gap at the top. Don't overfill the cases as you need to allow room for the meringue and also the Orange Butter may ooze out during cooking.
- To make the meringue, beat egg whites until soft peaks form and then add the caster sugar gradually until all dissolved and then beat until stiff and glossy.
- Spoon or pipe the meringue mixture gently over the Orange Butter.
- Baking option 1 for pre-cooked bases: Bake at 180oC for 15 min until meringue is a very pale brown.
- Baking Option 2 for uncooked bases: Bake at 180oC for 20 minutes to ensure the base is cooked.

The Raw End
From fast food addiction and stockpiled frozen meals, to veganism and organic advocacy, modern food culture is marked with an infinite list of dietary habits.
The irony of this situation is that in an age of exceptional understanding about health and nutrition, we are eating in more varied ways than ever. The choices we make tend to repulse each other, ricocheting into strict dietary schools of thought, and conversely, into nutritional thoughtlessness.

“When you rush around in hopeless circles
Searching ev'rywhere for something true
You're at the age of not believing
When all the "make believe" is through
When you set aside your childhood heroes
And your dreams are lost up on a shelf
You're at the age of not believing
And worst of all you doubt yourself..”The only thing limiting what we can do with (our brains) is the limits we place on our beliefs about what we can do to change.
