Super simple jam tarts, the perfect recipe to make with kids.
Equipment
Ingredients
- 350 g Plain Flour (or all purpose)
- 2 tbsp Caster Sugar
- 170 g Cold Butter (Cubed)
- 2 Egg Yolks
- 2 tsp Vanilla Essence (or extract)
- 250 g Jam (any flavour)
Instructions
- Put the flour in a large bowl and rub in the butter until it resembles fine breadcrumbs. Add in the sugar.
- In a small bowl, beat the egg yolks and add the vanilla essence and 4 tbsp of cold water.
- Pour the mixture into the bowl and mix together with your hands or mixer until it forms a dough. Wrap in cling film and chill in the freezer for 15 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 180°c Fan/200°c/Gas 6.
- Roll out the pastry on a floured surface until the thickness is about 3mm. Use a cutter of 8 cm or big enough to fit your bun tins and cut 24 discs.
- Place the discs in the tins and prick with a fork slightly but not right through. Spoon 1 -2 tsp of jam into each tart.
- Bake in the oven for 15 minutes until the pastry is golden and the jam is bubbling. Leave to cool slightly in the tin before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely and the jam to set.
