THE QUEEN OF HEARTS - VALENTINE'S JAM TARTS

Steps:

• Sieve the flour into a large mixing bowl, add the butter and rub it in using your fingertips until the mixture looks like fine breadcrumbs.
• Use a knife to mix in the water, a little at a time stirring with the knife until the mixture comes together and you can form a ball with your hands.
• Wrap the pastry in a piece of clingfilm and put it in the fridge for 30 minutes - this will make it easier to roll out.
• Turn the oven on to 200°C/400°F/Gas Mark 6.
• Sprinkle the work surface and your rolling pin with a little flour and roll the pastry out to about ¼ cm thick.
• Dip the cutter in flour then cut out as many circles as you can - you may need to gather the bits of pastry up and roll them out again to make 12 to 18 circles.(Make sure you leave a little of the pastry scraps for the heart shaped pastry lids!) Once you have the desired amount of pastry cases, roll out the pastry scraps and cut out the required amount of hearts, using a mini heart shaped biscuit/cookie cutter.
• Lay the rounds of pastry in the tart tin, which has been buttered or greased and press them gently into place. Prick the base of each tart once with a fork.
• Put the tart tray into the oven and bake for 6 minutes until the pastry is very pale golden. Using oven gloves take the tray out of the oven.
• Carefully put 1 heaped teaspoon of jam into each tart, and then top them off with a pastry heart. Using oven gloves put the tray back into the oven for 6 minutes.
• Using your oven gloves take the tray out of the oven.
• Leave them to cool for a few minutes then use a palette knife to gently lift the tarts out of the tin and leave to cool completely on a wire rack. Arrange them on an attractive serving plate and sprinkle with caster sugar.

PEANUT BUTTER & JAM TARTS

Steps:

• 1. PLEASE BE SURE TO CAREFULLY READ DIRECTIONS. THANK YOU! If you can, use a food processor to make dough.
• 2. Place the butter and both sugars into the food processor bowl. Pulse a few times to combine. Slowly add the beaten egg and almond extract. Add the peanut butter and pulse/mix until well combined. Gradually add the dry ingredients and pulse/mix until the dough forms a ball on the blade/paddle. Place the ball of dough onto a lightly floured surface and divide it into 4 equal parts. Flatten each one into a disc, wrap in plastic and chill for about 3 hours.
• 3. Butter/spray 4 tartlet pans (4.75 diameter tartlet pans) Flour the pans and carefully tap out the excess. Set aside.
• 4. Preheat the oven to 375F. Remove a disc from the refrigerator (leave the others in so they can stay cool.) On a heavily floured work surface surface, carefully roll out the dough so that it will fit your prepared tartlet pan. You will have a lot of dough, too much for each pan. The excess will be used as the crumbled topping. Press the dough evenly into the bottom and up the sides of the pan. Using the rolling pin, carefully roll over the surface, allowing the extra dough to fall off. Save this dough for the topping. If the dough cracks, just patch it with the reserve stash, it's very forgivable. Repeat this procedure with the remaining dough.
• 5. Using a fork, poke each tart a few times. Cover each one with a piece of parchment paper. Cover the parchment paper with pie weights (you may also use dried beans or rice.) Place the pans onto a large cookie sheet.
• 6. Bake for 8-10 minutes. Remove from the oven and very carefully remove the paper and weights. Reduce the oven temperature to 350F.
• 7. While the tart shells are still warm, dollop each one with spoonfuls of the jelly, peanut butter, and Nutella. Because they will still be warm, you should be able to gently swirl everything together, but take care not to tear the semi-baked crust. Crumble the reserved tart shell dough over the jam/peanut butter/Nutella. Bake for another 15-20 minutes, or until the filling begins to set and the crust turns golden brown. Remove and cool for about 1 hour before serving.

JAM TARTS

Steps:

• 1. Place the flour, confectioners' sugar, and salt in the bowl of a food processor. Process for 30 seconds. Add the butter and pulse until the mixture resembles medium-coarse cornmeal. Mix 1 egg yolk with 2 tablespoons ice-cold water, then gradually add it to the pastry mixture, processing after each addition. (Do not allow the mixture to become a ball of dough-it should stay in large, coarse clumps.) Transfer to a mixing bowl. Bring the mixture together in your hands, knead it for 30 seconds on a clean, lightly floured surface, then press it down into a 1/2-inch-thick disc. Wrap it in plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
• 2. Thinly roll out the pastry on a lightly floured surface. Stamp out circles using a 4 1/4-inch-diameter (for large tarts) or 3 1/2-inch-diameter (for smaller ones) cookie cutter. Gently lift the circles of dough and ease them into a 6-hole shallow nonstick tart tray (for large tarts) or a 12-hole nonstick muffin tray (for smaller ones). Prick the bases with a fork. Freeze until solid, about 20 minutes.
• 3. Preheat oven to 375°F. In a small bowl, mix the remaining egg yolk with the milk to make the glaze. Place the oven rack on the top third of the oven. Line the pastries with pieces of parchment paper that are large enough to completely cover the base and sides, then fill with baking beans. Bake for 8 minutes, then remove the paper and beans and brush the sides with the glaze. Return to the oven and bake until just tinged with color, about 5 minutes more.
• 4. Remove the tarts from the oven. Add 1 heaped tablespoon (for the large tarts) or 2 teaspoons (for the smaller ones) of the preserves to each pastry case. Return to the oven and bake until the preserves are bubbling, about 8 to 10 minutes. Remove and allow to cool in the tin for 10 minutes before transferring to a cake rack to cool completely.

JAM TARTS (TARTES DE CONFITURE)

Steps:

• Make dough:
• Blend together flour, butter, shortening, salt, and sugar in a bowl with your fingertips or a pastry blender (or pulse in a food processor) until most of mixture resembles coarse meal with the rest in small (roughly pea-size) lumps. Drizzle evenly with 3 tablespoons ice water and gently stir with a fork (or pulse in food processor) until incorporated.
• Test dough by gently squeezing a small handful: When it has proper texture, it should hold together without crumbling apart. If necessary, add more ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time, stirring (or pulsing) until just incorporated, and test again. (If you overwork mixture or add too much water, pastry will become tough.)
• Turn out dough onto a lightly floured work surface and divide into 2 portions. With heel of your hand, smear each portion once in a forward motion to help distribute fat. Gather dough together and divide it into 6 portions, then form each portion into a disk. Chill, wrapped in plastic wrap, until firm, at least 1 hour.
• Prepare shells:
• Roll each piece of dough into a 6-inch round with a rolling pin on a lightly floured surface and fit each into a tartlet pan. Roll rolling pin over tops of pans to trim dough flush with rims and lightly prick bottoms and sides all over with a fork. Chill 30 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 375°F.
• Line shells with foil and fill with pie weights or raw rice. Bake in middle of oven on a baking sheet until pastry is set and pale golden on edges, 15 minutes. Remove foil and weights and bake shells until pale golden all over, 6 to 10 minutes more. Cool in pans on a rack.
• Make filling:
• Simmer jam in a small saucepan, stirring occasionally, 1 minute. Remove from heat and stir in lemon juice. Put raspberries in a large bowl and pour warm jam over berries, gently tossing with a rubber spatula to coat berries. Mound berries in tart shells.

JAM TARTS

Steps:

• Sift the flour into a food processor; add the butter.
• Pulse together until bread crumb stage. Try not to overwork the pastry. You need to treat the pastry gently to prevent tough chewy pastry.
• Add the sugar, vanilla, and egg yolk to the pastry and pulse again until a ball forms.
• You made need a little water if the pastry looks dry or is not clumping together well.
• Remove the pastry from the machine.
• Knead lightly to remove cracks.
• Pop in the refrigerator for 15 minutes to rest.
• Preheat the oven to 200 degrees Celsius/fan 160 degrees Celsius.
• Remove the pastry from the fridge.
• Roll out on a lightly floured board.
• Cut out 12 rounds using a pastry cutter. I won't give measurments as sometimes I make bun tray size and sometimes I use a mini muffin tray. It is up to you. All take the same time to cook.
• Push the pastry rounds into your tray to fit nicely.
• Prick the base of each round with a fork.
• Pop into the oven for 15 minutes.
• When cooked transfer onto a cooling rack.
• Warm strawberry jam in the microwave in a bowl on high for 1 or 2 minutes until runny (be careful jam gets very hot).
• Spoon the jam into the pastry shells.
• Top each with half a strawberry.
• Leave to cool.
• They are crumbly and melt in the mouth YUM!
