Classic British Jam Tarts
Delightful and simple jam tarts, a beloved British classic perfect for baking with children. These individual pastry cases are filled with your favorite jam and baked until golden and crisp.
🧂 Ingredienser
- 300 g Shortcrust pastry(Store-bought or homemade. Ensure it's chilled.)
- 200 g Assorted jams(Raspberry, strawberry, or blackcurrant are traditional choices. Use a jam with good set.)
- 1 tbsp Milk or egg wash (optional)(For brushing the pastry edges for a golden sheen.)
👨🍳 Fremgangsmåde
- 1
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F, Gas Mark 6). Lightly grease a 12-hole mini muffin tin or individual tartlet tins.
⏱️ 5 minutes - 2
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the chilled shortcrust pastry to about 3mm (1/8 inch) thickness. Using a round cutter (approximately 7-8 cm or 3 inches in diameter), cut out 12 circles. Re-roll scraps if necessary.
⏱️ 10 minutes - 3
Gently press each pastry circle into the prepared tartlet tins, ensuring the pastry lines the base and sides evenly. Prick the base of each tart case a couple of times with a fork to prevent puffing.
⏱️ 5 minutes - 4
Spoon about 1-2 teaspoons of your chosen jam into each pastry case. Be careful not to overfill, as the jam will bubble and spread during baking.
⏱️ 5 minutes - 5
If using, lightly brush the exposed edges of the pastry with milk or beaten egg for a golden finish. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the pastry is crisp and golden brown, and the jam is bubbling.
⏱️ 12-15 minutes - 6
Carefully remove the tarts from the tins and transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely. The jam will be very hot when fresh from the oven.
⏱️ 5 minutes (cooling time not included in total)
