Or Other Preserve

Oven, in the book's wordsA brisk oven

Ingredients

Directions

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

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).

  2. Butter a tart pan.

  3. Roll out the puff pastry to ¼ inch thick and line the pan with it.

  4. Prick a few holes in the bottom with a fork to prevent rising.

  5. Bake the tart for 10 to 15 minutes until lightly golden.

  6. Let the pastry cool slightly, then fill it with jam.

  7. Cut out stars or leaves from remaining pastry, bake them, and place on top of the jam.

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.
