Tartlets

Ingredients

• pastry dough
• preserve
• cold water or egg white

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.

1. Roll out the pastry dough and cut it into rounds.

2. Press a small cutter through twelve rounds to form rings.

3. Moisten the rings with cold water or egg white.

4. Lay the rings on the remaining rounds to form the rims of the tartlets.

5. Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 10 to 12 minutes.

6. Fill the warm tartlets with preserve.

7. Cut small ornaments from the remaining pastry, bake them lightly, and place on top of the preserve.

8. Serve the tartlets cold or reheat in the oven for 1 minute before serving.
