Raspberry Tarts

Oven, in the book's wordsA quick oven

Ingredients

Directions

The book says “a quick oven”. The 400°F (200°C) in the steps is the modern equivalent, not the book's own figure.

  1. Roll out the tart paste into a long roll and cut it into small pieces.

  2. Roll each piece into an oval shape, about ¼ inch thick, large enough to cover your pans.

  3. Press the center of the paste lightly with your thumb and trim the edges with a thin knife.

  4. Notch the edges of the tart crust.

  5. Thin the raspberry jam with a little water.

  6. Fill the tarts about three-quarters full with the thinned jam.

  7. Bake in a 400°F (200°C) oven until golden.
