and fill in the blanks.
Miss Skimmer
Ready to listen? I’m going to explain how to make a ...................................... tart. First we need
to prepare the shortcrust pastry, cutting the ........................................ into pieces so it will
soften more easily. Then we’ll sift the flour and combine all the .......................................... to
............................................ a ball.
Daisy
My mother always recommends kneading the pastry very ........................................ .
Miss Skimmer
She’s right! And don’t forget to put it in the ........................................ for about half an hour
before rolling it out.
Daisy
I think we will make the custard in the meantime.
Miss Skimmer
Yes, Daisy! Since you always know everything, try to explain to your classmates how to
........................................ it.
Daisy
Errrr … First, we have to mix the ..................................... yolks with the ....................................... .
Miss Skimmer
Actually you have to whisk them! Until they’re pale!!!
Daisy
Oh, yes … sorry! Then we’ll add the ........................................ .
Miss Skimmer
And the ........................................ rind.
Daisy
Then we’ll pour in the heated ........................................ , put the saucepan on the burner
and keep on stirring to avoid curdling, until it’s ready.
Miss Skimmer
Very ........................................ ! And while
it cools, we can prepare the tart rolling
out the pastry and baking it at a
................................................... of 350°.
Giada
350°? But it will burn!
Miss Skimmer
Giada! We are in .......................................... . We
use the Fahrenheit scale! They
correspond to 180° Celsius. And
when the tart is ready we’ll only have
to ........................................ it with the
custard and the strawberries.
