Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams All-purpose flour
- 125 grams Unsalted butter (cold, diced)
- 50 grams Granulated sugar
- 1 piece Egg yolk
- 2 tablespoons Cold water
- 150 grams Jam (flavor of choice, e.g., raspberry, strawberry, apricot)
- 10 grams Powdered sugar (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease a 12-cup muffin tin or individual tartlet molds.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and granulated sugar. Add the cold, diced butter, and rub it into the dry ingredients using your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse breadcrumbs.
Add the egg yolk and 2 tablespoons of cold water. Mix until the dough starts to come together. If the dough is too dry, add a tiny bit more water, one teaspoon at a time.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently until it forms a smooth ball. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 15–20 minutes to chill.
Once chilled, roll out the dough on a floured surface to about 3mm (1/8 inch) thickness. Use a round cookie cutter (approximately 8cm/3 inches in diameter) to cut out circles of dough.
Line each muffin tin cup or tartlet mold with a dough circle, pressing gently to form the tartlet shells.
Spoon a heaped teaspoon of your favorite jam into each tartlet shell. Be careful not to overfill, as the jam will bubble and expand during baking.
Bake the tartlets in the preheated oven for 18–20 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and the jam is bubbling.
Remove the tartlets from the oven and allow them to cool in the tin for 5 minutes. Then, gently transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
If desired, dust the cooled tartlets with powdered sugar for a decorative finish before serving.
