STRAWBERRY AND MINT TARTLETS

Making tartlets with strawberry jam and mint is a delicious and relatively simple dessert. Here's a basic recipe

INGREDIENTS

For the tartlet dough:

• 1 1/4 cups wheat flour
• 1/4 cup icing sugar
• 1/2 cup cold butter, cut into cubes
• 1 egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• A pinch of salt

For the filling:

• Strawberry jam
• Fresh mint leaves
• Icing sugar (optional, for sprinkling)

PREPARATION METHOD

For the tartlet dough:

1. In a large bowl, first mix together the flour, icing sugar and salt.
2. Add the chilled butter and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to mix until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs.
3. Then add the egg and vanilla to the mixture. Stir until the dough comes together.
4. Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead gently until it forms a ball. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for about 30 minutes.
5. Preheat the oven to 180°C.
6. After the chilling time, roll out the dough on a floured surface and cut out circles to line tartlet tins. Press the dough into the molds and prick the bottom with a fork.
7. Finally, bake the tartlet bases in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown. Leave to cool completely.

Assembling the tartlets:

8. Place a teaspoon of strawberry jam in the bottom of each tartlet.
9. Garnish with fresh mint leaves on top of the jam.
