A Sweet Dough
One of the most exciting things about Taste of Cayman is the swag! For the 2011 event, the Cayman Islands Tourism Association gave guests a swag bag that included several recipes from local restaurants.
I’m still working my way through them and when it came time to post this week’s TOC recipe I remembered just how delicious The Black Trumpet’s tarts were that year!
Sweet Dough by The Black Trumpet
You will need:
3/4 cup unsalted butter
1 cup icing sugar
1 tbsp vanilla extract
1 egg
2 cups all purpose flour
2 tbsp cornstarch
pinch of salt
- Cream butter with paddle attachment in mixer until soft.
- Add icing sugar and salt
- Beat eggs and vanilla gradually.
- Stir or sift together flour and cornstarch. Add to bowl all at once, pulsing on and off to combine.
- Wrap in plastic wrap and chill before using.
- After chilling, preheat over to 350 F and place flour on work surface and roll dough out to desired thinness.
- Use round cookie cutter to cut shapes and sizes, place in tart case and blind bake (that is, without filling) until golden on the edges.
- Remove beans from tart case and place back in the oven for a few minutes to dry the middle.
- Remove from oven and place on a cooling rack.
This year’s Taste of Cayman is January 26th at Camana Bay.

I love food. I take pictures of food in restaurants. I take pictures of food I cook at home. I take pictures of people eating food. I memorize recipes and exchange them with everyone I know hoping they will give me some of their recipes I can make. I take vacations based primarily on how many good restaurants I can visit while I'm there. I like playing video games where I can grow food and then cook it. Get the picture? A friend suggested that I start a food blog. So here it is....
Those are some tarts! Actually….I’d be content with just eating the tops off of them! Enjoy your swag bag and I hope you have a wonderful New Year! : )
These looks wonderful!
Happy New Year to both you and CK!
Wish you a wonderful 2013!
Those look divine! It looks like there’s some sort of jam/custard on top, do you remember what they used?
These look really tasty good; wish I was there.

The height of these sweets are so tall and very catchy! I’m excited for the event! It’s in less than a month!
Mmm I think a lemon curd will be perfect with the dough! I love the photo of the tall meringue, really pretty!
The dough sounds delciious. What do they fill them with? I’m thinking mango would work
Just to say thanks for all the smiles you’ve brought over another terrific year of great recipes. I love your spirit and sense of humour. Merry Christmas to you and your family and hoping 2013 brings wonderful things, Hester x
I love how high it is!
Neat tip to include cornstarch in the tart dough… hadn’t tried that. Have a wonderful holiday and a fun, tasty time at the upcoming Taste of Cayman!!!
They look heavenly! I wish I could have one now.
Wow those are gorgeous and sounds like a fun time!
