ISCHL TARTLETS

This cookie has a very delicate flavor. They are so good sometimes I just serve them plain without the raspberry preserves. You must keep dough refrigerated in order to work with it. It can be a bit tricky transferring the cookies to your baking sheet. Just have patience and you will be rewarded.

Tips:

  • Mise en place: For any baking recipe, it's essential to have all your ingredients and equipment ready before you start. This will help you stay organized and prevent any mishaps.
  • Use high-quality ingredients: The better the quality of your ingredients, the better your tartlets will taste. Use fresh, ripe fruit, high-quality butter, and real vanilla extract.
  • Follow the recipe carefully: Baking is a science, so it's important to follow the recipe carefully. Don't skip any steps or substitute ingredients unless you know what you're doing.
  • Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing the dough will make your tartlets tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Blind bake the tart shells: Blind baking helps to prevent the tart shells from becoming soggy. To blind bake, preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line the tart shells with parchment paper and fill them with pie weights or dried beans. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the edges of the tart shells are golden brown.
  • Let the tartlets cool completely before filling them: This will help to prevent the filling from leaking out.
  • Chill the tartlets before serving: This will help the filling to set and make the tartlets easier to slice.

Conclusion:

Ischl tartlets are a delicious and versatile treat that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dessert. With their flaky crust and creamy filling, they're sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them. So next time you're looking for a special treat, give ischl tartlets a try!
