Ingredients
Makes 12 tarts

175 g plain flour
80g butter
2 tbsp sugar
1/2 tsp salt
approx 50ml water
Jam (US.jelly) any flavour

Method
1. Mix together flour,salt, sugar and butter (cut into small pieces). Rub the mixture between your fingers till the mixture resembles large breadcrumbs.
2. Add the water (bit by bit) and knead the pastry gently, forming into a ball. Pop it in the fridge for about 1 hour.
3. Grease a 12 hole shallow tart tin. Roll out the pastry on a lightly floured surface (about 3-4 mm thick).
4. Using a large cup or pastry cutter, cut out circles and place into the tart tins.
5. Fill each tart with about 2 heaped tsps of jam.
6. Bake in a pre-heated over at 200C for about 15-20 mins.
7. Allow to cool then sprinkle with a little icing sugar.

Phew, just finished making these. Upped the ingredients a bit and got 24 tarts. Sadly I only have tins for 12, but that was good as I overfilled the first lot and they're a bit sticky, I got it right the 2nd time. Just as well 'cos they're for my friends tea & cake wedding reception tomorrow. I'm glad the query about sugar was answered. I used icing sugar as suggested. Good recipe!

Hi Tina,
Not sure if you ever found out which type of sugar to use but I looked up sweet shortcrust pastry by Jamie Oliver and he uses icing sugar so guess would be the same in this recipe !

Hi,

I just wanted to know in the recipe it mentions 2 tbsp of sugar. I just wanted to know what type of sugar is advised please Caster sugar? Golden caster sugar? or normal sugar?

Thank you
