Jam tartlets
(adapted from the Sono baking company cookbook)
Ingredients
1/2 recipe Pate Sucree
       (Full recipe)
         2 cups flour
         1 cup butter (room temperature)
         1/4 cup Sugar
         1 tsp Coarse salt
         1 Large egg
         1 Large egg yolk

Streusel

1/2 cup flour
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1/4 tsp Salt
1/8 tsp ground cinnamon
1/4 cup cold unsalted butter cut into small pieces

1/2 cup seedless raspberry jam

Pate Suree
in the bowl of a sand mixer fitted with the paddle, beat butter, sugar and salt on medium-high until light and fluffy about 3 minutes. scraping down the sides as you go. Add the egg and yolk. Mix until combined. Add the flour and beat until it has been absorbed.

Turn out dough of bowl, working with half at a time, on to plastic wrap and create 2 discs. refrigerate for at least 2 hours. I left them in there for about a week.

Tartlets

on a lightly floured surface roll out dough to about 1/8 in thick. use what ever size tart pans you are using (I used 4 in ones) to cut out circles enough to fill the pans. Place in mold and refrigerated again. I let them chill for about a day.

to make the streusel- in a medium bowl use a fork to stir together the flour, brown sugar, salt, and cinnamon. Add the butter and work into the dough with your fingers. Work until it looks like bread crumbs. refrigerate until you are ready for it.

Pre-heat oven to 350f.

spoon in about 1 TBS jam into each mold and spread it out. Make sure it is not too thick. Place the streusel onto till it covers all the jam and mounds a bit in the middle.

Bake on a baking sheet for about 20-25 mins. Until the edges are golden brown and the streusel is cooked. Let cool on a wire rack.

eat!

I hope you all like the recipe! they are really good and not too sweet. Very good with a cup of coffee. you might want to share them if you make them using the 4 inch pans.

hope you all have a great day and some sweets to share.
