Grandma’s Berry Tart

Directions

• In a small bowl, combine flour and salt; cut in butter and shortening until crumbly. Gradually add water, tossing with a fork until dough forms a ball. On a lightly floured surface, roll out dough into a 13-in. circle. Transfer to a 9-in. deep-dish pie plate.
• Place the berries in a large bowl. Combine the sugar, cornstarch, lemon zest, vanilla, ginger and allspice; add to berries and toss gently to coat. Pour into crust. Fold edges of pastry over filling. Brush folded pastry with milk; sprinkle with sugar.
• For topping, combine the sugar and flour in a small bowl; cut in butter until crumbly. Sprinkle over filling.
• Bake at 400° for 50-55 minutes or until pastry is golden brown. Cool on a wire rack.
