I hope it looks as good as yours.

Yes it is a lot of thin strips of pastry laid closely together. Take one sheet of pastry (on some parchment paper) and make lots of thin cuts lengthwise along the sheet (you do not have to be too exact with the cutting) spread out the strips a little using a knife then lift the parchment paper and place the lattice on the crostata. I call this lattice 'iron bark' lattice since it looks like iron bark tree bark and it looks so homely (rustic) and adds a casual look to the tart.<br /><br />Cheers from Audax in Sydney Australia.Audaxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14576459734840482775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-482941089428973160.post-67859839980833637622010-11-27T17:31:12.514-08:002010-11-27T17:31:12.514-08:00I love everything you say about why you love crost...I love everything you say about why you love crostata - so, so true!!
