Elevate mini raspberry jam tarts with crispy meringue topping for a delectable treat.
Ingredients:
  • 100g unsalted butter, chilled, finely chopped
  • 150g (1 cup) plain flour
  • 80.00 gm caster sugar
  • 2.00 egg yolk
  • 2-15.00 gm cold water
  • 90g (1/4 cup) raspberry jam
  • 20 mini meringues
  • Icing sugar, to dust
  • 40g butter, at room temperature
  • 40g (1/3 cup) almond meal
  • 20.00 ml plain flour
Instructions:
  • Preheat the oven to 180C/160C fan forced. Lightly grease 20 mini muffin pan holes. In a food processor, blend butter, flour, and sugar until mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs. Add egg yolk and a bit of water, and process until dough forms, adding more water if needed. Transfer dough to a floured surface, knead until smooth. Divide dough into 2 discs, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 15 minutes.
  • Roll out the pastry on a lightly floured surface to 3mm thick. Cut out 10 flowers using a 7.5cm round cutter and gently press them into prepared pans. Repeat to make a total of 20 tarts. Chill in the fridge to rest.
  • In a small bowl, cream the butter and sugar with a wooden spoon until light and fluffy. Mix in the egg yolk until well combined, then fold in the almond meal and flour.
  • Divide the mixture evenly into the pastry cases. Bake for around 12 minutes or until beautifully golden brown. Let them cool in the trays for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • Spoon a dollop of jam onto each tart, add a mini meringue, and sprinkle with icing sugar.
