Peach and poppy seed tart

Another experiment, this time for my mums birthday.

Crust:
350-400ml flour
1 tsp baking soda
juice of 1/2 lemon
1 egg
65 g butter, melted
pinch of salt

grated zest of 1/2 lemon
60g sugar
35ml cooking oil

Mix together the dry ingredients. In a separate bowl, whisk together butter, oil, egg, lemon juice and lemon  zest. Add the dry ingredients, mix well. Line a pie mold with the dough and set aside. Prepare the filling.

Filling:
2 packs sweetened vanilla curd (or cream cheese, I suppose)

1 tbsp sugar
1.5 eggs
2 tbsp melted butter
2 tbsp sour cream
0.5 tbsp flour
zest and juice of 1/2 lemon

300g canned peaches, drained and sliced
dodgy polish poppy seed pie filling (I suppose you could use poppy seeds mixed with honey and raisins instead)

Spread the poppy seed mix over the bottom of the unbaked crust, cover with sliced peaches. Carefully pour the curd mix over the peaches, making sure you don't displace any of them.

Bake at 180C for about an hour or until it looks done.

I like the way this tart turned out.
