During the winter time, oranges are abundantly available, making it easier to get the vitamin C we need. But we love using this tangy fruit in sweet treats. Do you recall spending the winter break with grandma making jam and marmalade? It’s time to upgrade your baking skills and get back on the nostalgic track. A marmalade royal tart, made with either homemade orange marmalade or a customer favourite from the store, should be baking right now.
Marmalade royal tart suggestions
Making the dough is a super easy and doesn’t take long at all. When it’s done, though, it turns out a stunning golden colour. The tart is finished off with crunch and class when the remaining dough is grated on top. You can customise the filling however you like by including your favourite marmalade, whether homemade or store-bought, and topping it with some freshly grated lemon zest. Top yours with whipped cream and enjoy it with a steaming cup of tea or a heaping helping of ice cream.
It’s exciting to create something new in the kitchen, and when you bake a marmalade royal tart, everyone will be pleasantly surprised by the tangy marmalade filling.
