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)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease a 12-cup muffin tin or individual tartlet molds.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

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.

Step 6

Line each muffin tin cup or tartlet mold with a dough circle, pressing gently to form the tartlet shells.

Step 7

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.

Step 8

Bake the tartlets in the preheated oven for 18–20 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and the jam is bubbling.

Step 9

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.

Step 10

If desired, dust the cooled tartlets with powdered sugar for a decorative finish before serving.
