Ingredients

Scale

For the Tart Crust:

  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • ¼ cup powdered sugar
  • 1 stick (½ cup) unsalted butter, cold and cubed
  • 1 large egg yolk
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt

For the Filling:

  • ½ cup fruit jam (raspberry, strawberry, apricot, or any favorite)

Instructions

1️⃣ Make the Tart Crust:

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a mini muffin tin.
  2. In a food processor, combine flour, powdered sugar, and salt. Add cold butter and pulse until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  3. Add the egg yolk and vanilla extract, then pulse until the dough comes together.
  4. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead briefly. Roll it out to about ¼-inch thickness.

2️⃣ Form the Mini Tarts:

  1. Using a round cookie cutter, cut out circles of dough large enough to fit into the muffin tin cups.
  2. Gently press each dough circle into the muffin tin.
  3. Use a small spoon to add a teaspoon of your favorite fruit jam to the center of each tart.

3️⃣ Bake the Tarts:

  1. Bake in the preheated oven for 12–15 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the jam is bubbling.
  2. Let the mini tarts cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

4️⃣ Serve and Enjoy:

  1. Dust with powdered sugar if desired before serving.
