Categories     Tarts

Time 27m

Yield 24 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/2 cup butter
3/4 cup sugar
2 eggs
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 1/2 cups raspberry jam
1/2 cup nuts, chopped
whipped cream

Steps:

Tips:

  • Use a food processor to quickly and easily combine the ingredients for the crust.
  • If you want a more rustic crust, use a pastry blender or your fingers to work the butter into the flour.
  • Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before rolling it out. This will help to prevent the dough from becoming too sticky and difficult to work with.
  • Use a sharp knife to cut out the dough circles. This will help to prevent the dough from tearing.
  • Bake the tart shells in a preheated oven. This will help to ensure that the shells are cooked evenly.
  • Let the tart shells cool completely before filling them. This will help to prevent the filling from becoming soggy.
  • Use fresh, seasonal fruit for the filling. This will give the tarts the best flavor.
  • If you are using a frozen fruit filling, thaw it completely before using it.
  • Do not overfill the tart shells. This will help to prevent the filling from spilling over the sides.
  • Bake the tarts until the filling is set and the crust is golden brown.
  • Let the tarts cool slightly before serving. This will help to prevent the filling from running out of the tarts.
