Tartlets
Ingredients
Directions
The book gives no oven temperature. The 400°F (200°C) in the steps was added when the recipe was transcribed, as a starting point.
Prepare
Roll out the pastry dough thinly and cut it into rounds using a fluted cutter.
Place each round into a tartlet pan and press it down with your finger.
Add a small piece of bread crust or a little jam in the center of each tartlet.
Bake and finish
Bake in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) until lightly colored.
After baking, add more jam if desired and sift fine sugar over the tartlets.
Transcribed from a scanned cookbook and modernised for today's kitchens. Where the book gave no heat or time, or said "a moderate oven", the temperatures and times here may be modern equivalents rather than the book's own figures.
