Ingredients

• 200 grams All-purpose flour
• 115 grams Unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
• 40 grams Powdered sugar
• 1 large Egg yolk
• 2 tablespoons Cold water
• 250 grams Fresh raspberries
• 75 grams Granulated sugar
• 10 grams Cornstarch
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons Water
• 2 tablespoons Apricot jam (optional, for glaze)

Directions

Step 1

In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and powdered sugar.

Step 2

Add the cold, cubed butter to the flour mixture, using your fingertips or a pastry cutter to mix until it resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 3

Add the egg yolk and cold water to the mixture. Stir gently until a dough forms. If needed, add a few more drops of water until it comes together.

Step 4

Form the dough into a disc, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

Step 5

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 6

Roll out the chilled dough on a lightly floured surface to about 1/8-inch thickness.

Step 7

Cut circles in the dough slightly larger than your tart molds. Line each mold with the dough, pressing gently into the edges. Trim any excess dough.

Step 8

Poke small holes in the bottom of each tart with a fork and place the tart shells into the freezer for 10 minutes to firm up.

Step 9

Bake the tart shells in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until golden. Remove and allow them to cool completely.

Step 10

In a small saucepan, combine the raspberries, granulated sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, and water. Cook over medium heat, stirring continuously, until the mixture thickens and the raspberries soften, about 5-7 minutes.

Step 11

Remove the raspberry mixture from the heat and allow it to cool slightly.

Step 12

Fill each cooled tart shell with the raspberry filling, spreading evenly.

Step 13

For a glossy finish, heat the apricot jam (if using) in a small saucepan or microwave until melted. Brush the glaze delicately over the top of each tart.

Step 14

Chill the tarts in the refrigerator for at least 20 minutes before serving.

Step 15

Serve cold or at room temperature, and enjoy your homemade tantalizing raspberry tarts!
