Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 grams fresh sweet cherries (pitted)
- 100 grams granulated sugar
- 150 grams all-purpose flour
- 100 grams unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
- 30 grams powdered sugar
- 1 large egg yolk
- 2 tablespoons ice water
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 large egg (for egg wash)
- 1 tablespoon milk (for egg wash)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
In a medium bowl, combine the flour and powdered sugar. Add the cubed cold butter and rub it into the dry ingredients using your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Mix in the egg yolk and ice water, one tablespoon at a time, until the dough holds together. Turn it out onto a clean surface, form it into a disk, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 15-20 minutes.
Meanwhile, prepare the cherry filling. Combine the pitted cherries, granulated sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, and vanilla extract in a medium saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the mixture thickens slightly (about 5-7 minutes). Set aside to cool.
Roll out the chilled dough on a lightly floured surface to about 3mm thickness. Using a round cutter slightly larger than your tartlet molds, cut out circles of dough and gently press them into the molds, trimming any excess along the edges.
Spoon the cherry filling evenly into the prepared tartlet shells.
In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and milk to make the egg wash. Lightly brush the edges of the tartlets with the egg wash.
Bake the tartlets in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the pastry is golden and the filling is bubbly.
Remove the tartlets from the oven and let them cool in the molds for 10 minutes before carefully transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve the Azumaya Cherry Tartlets as is, or with a dollop of whipped cream or vanilla ice cream on the side. Enjoy!
