This week we made jam tarts with the kids, we took it back to basics, no fancy ingredients, just 3 simple things to make a delicious old school treat that even my Nana would be proud of.
- 85g/3oz unsalted butter or margarine
- 170g/6oz self-raising flour, plus extra for dusting
- 20 tsp jam, or to taste
Method
-
Preheat the oven to 200C/180C Fan/Gas 6.
-
Rub together the butter or margarine with the flour in a bowl until it resembles breadcrumbs. Stir in a few tablespoons of water to form a dough. Roll out on a lightly floured surface. Use a pastry cutter to cut out about 20 circular shapes.
-
Put each pastry case into an individual cupcake tin. Add a teaspoon of jam to each case – not too much or it will ooze everywhere. If there is any leftover pastry, re-roll it and cut smaller shapes, either circles or stars, and put over the jam to act as the lids.
-
Bake for about 30 minutes, or until the pastry has gone pale brown (check the tarts after 20 minutes).
