Ingredients

  • 150 g Plain flour
  • Pinch Salt
  • 75 g Unsalted Butter Cold
  • 2 tbsp Cold Water
  • 2 tbsp Caster Sugar
  • 1 tsp Jam Any flavour you like

Instructions

  • Put the flour and salt in a large bowl and add the cubes of butter.
  • Use your fingertips to rub the butter into the flour until you have a mixture that resembles coarse breadcrumbs with no large lumps of butter remaining.
  • Add in the caster sugar and mix until fully incorporated. Using a knife, stir in just enough of the cold water to bind the dough together.
  • Wrap the dough in cling film and chill in the fridge for 15 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven at 200C/180C fan/gas 6 once you are ready to start rolling the pastry out.
  • Roll out the shortcrust pastry on a lightly floured surface to just under the thickness of £1 coin. Stamp out 12 circles using a pastry cutter and line a muffin tin.
  • Prick with a fork and spoon 1 tsp jam into each tart case.*
  • Bake for 12-15 mins until the pastry is golden and the jam is bubbling a little bit.

Notes

*Now if you want to add some more pastry to the top then this is when you would do it. As you can see I did duck tops for mine.
