A base of fragrant shortcrust pastry, filled with jam, chocolate or whatever you like best. A dessert loved by adults and children. The secret to a successful tart, obviously, is the preparation of shortcrust pastry, If you have time I recommend preparing it the night before, then assembling and cooking it the next day. During cooking, the scent that will be released throughout the house will be irresistible. Below I leave you my recipe for preparing a 22 centimeter jam tart.
Tart with jam
Ingredients:
For the shortcrust pastry:
- 250 g of 00 flour
- 120 g of butter
- 100 g of sugar
- grated peel of half a lemon
- 1 pinch of salt
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 whole egg + 1 yolk
To fill:
- 250 g of jam (I chose black cherries)
Method:
To prepare the jam tart, the night before start preparing the shortcrust pastry. Pour the flour onto the work surface, make a little space in the center, and add the other ingredients. And now mix everything by hand until you obtain a smooth and homogeneous dough. Remember that the shortcrust pastry does not have to be worked very hard, so as soon as the dough is compact and smooth, it will be ready.
Wrap the shortcrust pastry in cling film, and let it rest in the fridge overnight. Once the resting time has passed, grease a 22cm mould, take the pastry from the fridge and, using a rolling pin, roll it out between two sheets of baking paper. Using the baking paper, line the mold with the shortcrust pastry, remove the excess, and prick the bottom with the tines of a fork.
Fill the tart with jam, and decorate with strips of shortcrust pastry, obtained from what is left over. Bake in a preheated oven at 180° for about thirty minutes. Bake, let cool before turning out. Let cool completely before serving and enjoying.
