Open Jam Tarts

Ingredients

• Puff or Short Paste
• Jam

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. Line an open tart mold with paste about ¼ inch thick.

3. Make a few holes in the bottom to prevent puffing.

4. Bake for 10 to 15 minutes until golden.

5. Let the paste cool.

6. If serving hot, warm the jam in a clean saucepan and add it immediately.

7. Decorate with leaves, flowers, or stars cut from the paste and baked.
