Time 50m

Yield 14

Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

1 ¼ cups unbleached all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon white sugar
¼ teaspoon salt
1 stick cold unsalted butter, cut into 1/4-inch cubes
5 tablespoons very cold water
2 cups fresh raspberries
2 cups fresh blackberries
½ cup white sugar
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour, or more as needed
1 pinch salt

Steps:

Stir flour, sugar, and salt together in a large bowl. Cut in butter using a pastry cutter or 2 knives until the texture resembles coarse cornmeal, with butter pieces the size of small peas. Mix in water with a fork just until the dough comes together.
Toss berries, sugar, flour, and salt together in a bowl to make the filling. Set aside at room temperature.
Lightly butter or grease 14 muffin cups. Place some dough in each muffin cup and press it against the bottoms and sides to create tart shells that are 1/8- to 1/4-inch thick. Divide berry filling evenly among the tart shells.
Position a rack in the lower third of the oven and preheat to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Refrigerate tarts for 15 minutes while the oven preheats.
Bake tarts in the preheated oven until crust is golden brown and filling is bubbling, 15 to 18 minutes.

Tips:

Work with cold dough. This will help to prevent the dough from becoming too sticky and difficult to work with. You can chill the dough in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before rolling it out.
Use a sharp knife to cut the dough. This will help to create clean, even edges. A dull knife will tear the dough and make it difficult to work with.
Don't overfill the tart shells. Otherwise, the filling will spill over the sides when you bake the tarts.
Bake the tarts until the crust is golden brown and the filling is set. Overbaking the tarts will make the crust dry and crumbly.
Let the tarts cool completely before serving. This will help to prevent the filling from running out.

Conclusion:

Mini fruit tarts are a delicious and versatile dessert that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are perfect for parties, potlucks, and other special occasions. With a little planning and effort, you can easily make these tarts at home. So next time you are looking for a sweet treat, give mini fruit tarts a try!
