📖 Recipe Card
Jam Tarts
Ingredients
- 3/4 cup maida ~120 gms
- 1/3 cup unsalted cold butter ~65 gms
- 2 tablespoon castor sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- a tiny pinch salt
- water as required
- 2 tablespoon jam in each color
Instructions
- ake maida in a bowl, add salt, baking powder and sugar to it. Sieve it once then whisk it well.
- Now add butter to it. Rub it with your fingers, It will look more like breadcrumbs.
- Now add few drops of water and bring it together to form a soft non-sticky dough.
- Cling wrap it and refrigerate it for at least 30mins.
- Meanwhile prepare your tart moulds, brush it well with melted butter. Set aside.
- Take the dough from the fridge and roll it slightly thin and even to about 1/4inch thickness , cut small squares slightly bigger than your tart moulds.
- Lay the dough on the tart mould. Trim the extras and line it well.
- Now scrape the remaining dough and repeat the process till the entire dough finishes.
- Now the tart moulds are neatly lined. I had 2 extra so arranged it in my individual silicon muffin pan.
- Arrange it in a baking tray and prick each tart using a fork.
- Preheat oven at 180 deg C.
- Meanwhile prepare your jams. I used pineapple and mixed fruit jams. Double boil a vessel and to this add the jam and melt it, keep stirring for 3-4 minutes for the jam to melt slightly, this helps to easily spoon the jam.
- Now spoon the jam till 2/3rd of the tart and refrigerate for 5mins.
- Then bake it at 180 deg C for 12-15mins or until the edges turn golden.
- Cool down for 10mins then slide the tarts using a fork.
- Cool down and store in airtight container.
- Rich buttery flaky melt in the mouth jam tarts ready…
Notes
- Pricking with a fork is a must to avoid puffing up.
- You can replace castor sugar with regular granulated sugar too.
- You can use this tart recipe as a base and make any filling of your choice like chocolate sauce / or any savory filling.
- You can even bake the tarts separately and then fill up with jam.
- You can try the same recipe as cake.
- When the edges start to turn golden then the tarts are done. Don’t overbake.
- I used 2 jam flavours pineapple and mixed fruit.
- While rolling if it sticks dust flour but don’t overdo.
- Make sure to roll thin else your tarts will become chewy.
- Do not overdo while kneading the dough, just bring it together and knead it once.
- The ones I baked in muffin moulds were a bit chewy as I rolled them a bit thicker so I understood it is a must to roll it thin and even.
- Spoon jam only till 2/3rd else it will ooze out while baking.
- These tarts keep well even for a week but store in airtight container.
