Servings12 Tarts
Ingredients
- ¾ cup maida
- ⅓ cup unsalted cold butter
- 2 tablespoon castor sugar
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- 1 tiny pinch salt
- 2 tablespoon jam (I used mixed fruit and pineapple jam)
- water as required
Instructions
- Take 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 30 minutes.
- 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 ¼ inch thickness , cut small squares slightly bigger than your tart molds.
- 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 molds 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 ⅔rd of the tart and refrigerate for 5mins.
- Then bake it at 180 deg C for 12-15 minutes or until the edges turn golden.
- Cool down for 10 minutes 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
- Cold Butter – Always use cold butter for flaky texture. Don’t let it soften before rubbing into flour.
- Roll Thin – Rolling the dough too thick will make the tarts chewy instead of crisp. Aim for even, thin sheets.
- Don’t Overfill Jam – Only fill ⅔rd of each tart or it may ooze out while baking.
- Chill the Dough – Resting the dough in the fridge for at least 30 minutes helps prevent shrinkage while baking.
- Jam Consistency – Slightly melt the jam before filling to make it easier to spoon and spread.
