Jam Tartlets

Ingredients

Directions

The book gives no oven temperature. The 350°F (175°C) in the steps was added when the recipe was transcribed, as a starting point.

Prepare

  1. Roll out the pastry dough and cut it into small circles.

  2. Place a small amount of jam in the center of each circle.

  3. Cut strips of pastry dough and twist them across the jam.

Bake

  1. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 15 minutes.
