Jam-Filled Tarts

Jam-Filled Tarts are a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that will satisfy your sweet tooth. These tarts are perfect for any occasion and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. To make these mouth-watering tarts, you will need the following ingredients:

For the pastry:

- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, chilled and cubed
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 egg yolk
- 2 tablespoons ice water

For the filling:

- 1 cup jam (your choice of flavor)
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon water
To start, preheat your oven to 375°F. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, and butter. Use your fingers to rub the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse breadcrumbs. Add the egg yolk and ice water, and mix until the dough comes together.
Roll out the dough on a floured surface to about 1/4 inch thickness. Use a cookie cutter or a glass to cut out circles of dough and place them into a muffin tin. Prick the bottoms of the tarts with a fork and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until lightly golden.
While the tarts are baking, mix the jam, cornstarch, and water in a small saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens. Remove from heat and let cool.
Once the tarts are done baking, remove them from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. Spoon the jam filling into each tart and return them to the oven for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the filling is set.
These Jam-Filled Tarts are a perfect combination of sweet and buttery flavors. The pastry is flaky and tender, while the jam filling is thick and fruity. These tarts are perfect for a dessert or a sweet snack. They are easy to make and can be customized with your favorite jam flavor. Enjoy!
