Ingredients

• 250 grams all-purpose flour
• 125 grams cold unsalted butter
• 50 grams granulated sugar
• 1 large egg yolk
• 2 tablespoons cold water
• 1 pinch salt
• 300 grams your choice of jam (strawberry, raspberry, apricot, etc.)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 180°C (356°F).

Step 2

Place the flour, sugar, and a pinch of salt into a mixing bowl. Stir to combine.

Step 3

Add the cold unsalted butter, cut into small cubes, into the bowl. Use your fingertips to rub the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse breadcrumbs.

Step 4

Make a well in the center of the mixture, add the egg yolk and 2 tablespoons of cold water.

Step 5

Use a fork to bring the dough together, then gently knead into a smooth ball. Avoid overworking the dough to keep it tender.

Step 6

Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

Step 7

Roll out the cooled dough on a lightly floured surface until it is about 3mm thick.

Step 8

Gently fit the rolled dough into a 9-inch (23 cm) tart pan with a removable bottom, pressing it into the edges and trimming any excess.

Step 9

Spoon your chosen jam into the tart shell, spreading it evenly.

Step 10

Roll out any remaining dough scraps and cut into thin strips to create a lattice pattern over the jam.

Step 11

Place the tart on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the pastry is golden brown.

Step 12

Allow the tart to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before removing the tart to cool completely on a wire rack.

Step 13

Slice and serve the tart at room temperature.
