୨ৎ The cutest Strawberry Jam Tarts! 🍓ʚɞ
These are so perfect for Spring and they’re incredibly easy to make! ♡

Ingredients:
Pastry:
-150g plain flour
-75g chilled (cubed) butter/vegan butter
-A pinch of salt
-2–3 tbs ice water

& Your favourite strawberry jam, either homemade or shop-bought! 🍓
-Some milk/plant milk for brushing
-Some demerara sugar for sprinkling on the tarts before baking! ♡

Method:

-In a large bowl, sieve together the flour and salt, then mix to combine with a spatula.

-Add in the chilled butter and rub it into the flour mixture with your fingertips until it resembles flaky breadcrumbs. (You can also do this using a food processor.) ♡

-Gradually add in the ice water and mix with a spatula until the dough begins to come together. Then use your hands to gently bring it together into a dough.

-Wrap the dough in cling film/foil and refrigerate for 30 minutes.

-Once chilled, roll the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and cut out your tart circles.

-Grease your tart tray with a little butter/vegan butter and gently press the pastry circles into the moulds, ensuring they come up the sides slightly to create the tart shape.

-Fill each tart with your desired amount of strawberry jam, taking care not to overfill.

-If desired, use any leftover pastry to cut out decorative shapes for the tops of the tarts.

-Brush the exposed pastry with a little milk/plant milk and sprinkle with some demerara sugar.

-Bake at 170C/340F for 15–18 minutes, or until lightly golden.

-Once baked, allow the tarts to cool completely so the jam can set.

-Once cooled, optionally dust with a little icing sugar before serving.

Enjoy! 🍓🤍
