Jam Tarts


The cute little jam tarts sure has become my kids favorite tea time snack.





INGREDIENTS

Flour-115g
Butter-60g *
Baking powder-1/2tsp
Water-4-5 drops**
Jam





METHOD

Mix flour and baking powder together.

Add the butter and rub it with your fingertips till it resembles breadcrumbs.
Add few drops of water to bring together the dough.
Line the tart tins***
Fill 2/3 of the tart with jam.

Bake at 180 degress for 15 mins or until golden around the edges .

De-mould when cooled.



Tips
You can use cup cake mould to make these tarts.
*Use chilled butter and if possible chilled flour.
**Use chilled water.
I refrigerated the dough for 1/2 hour so that's its easier to roll out.
***Roll out the dough on a flat surface about 1/8 inch thick. Then using a cookie cutter or glass cut into 
round shape. Cut out the rounds and gently place it on the mould and press it on all sides.
If you find it sticky, place a parchment paper and roll it on that.
