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)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).

Step 2

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.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

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.

Step 6

Spoon the cherry filling evenly into the prepared tartlet shells.

Step 7

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.

Step 8

Bake the tartlets in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the pastry is golden and the filling is bubbly.

Step 9

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.

Step 10

Serve the Azumaya Cherry Tartlets as is, or with a dollop of whipped cream or vanilla ice cream on the side. Enjoy!
