The Epicure's Almanac or Diary of Good Living
July 28th : GREEN GAGE TART
Select fruit not quite ripe, but perfectly sound; fill a pie-dish with them; beat up a quarter of a pound of powdered sugar, in as much spring water as will dissolve it; pour this over the fruit, cover with puff paste, and bake in a moderate oven. Lay on a coating of yolk of egg with a brush, over your crust; put the tart back in the oven for a few minutes, and sprinkle powdered sugar over the top before serving.
