Jam tart with the Neapolitan grandmother's trick for a perfect shortcrust pastry: Before rolling it out, do this


The jam tart It’s a dessert that never sets. An easy dessert to prepare at home, which can be enjoyed at any time of the day. 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.

How to Live a Healthy 2022 and Deal with the Anti Covid Vaccine – Gordon Ramsay’s version

How to Live a Healthy 2022 and Deal with the Anti Covid Vaccine


January has always been the month of good intentions, let's try to fix them together then and prioritize to address them in health this winter, but also the whole year ahead.

It is important to root some good habits, for singles, but also for those with families in order to involve all members to participate in this collaborative lifestyle and more sustainable for all: health at the table and good nutrition are essential to live well, but it is also true that we should all contribute to achieving this goal.

If only one member has the responsibility of always preparing meals for the whole family, in addition to placing the responsibility on one person that everything works, the other members of the family will also be deprived of fully understanding the importance of these daily actions, and why no? It will also prevent them from getting by on their own, because they are not used to doing anything!

To organize meals as varied as possible and that please all family members, it would be good to take a few minutes (even during meals) to draw up the shopping list and if you succeed, even a weekly menu on the initiative of all members.

The weekly menu makes life easier!

With a weekly menu or even the idea of main dish to cook every day, we can avoid the anxiety and stress of thinking at the last minute what to put on the table and offer much more varied dishes!

Furthermore, food waste is avoided and preparations can be anticipated.

What to eat or not to eat to stay fit?

The number one rule for following a healthy diet is that, if you are in good health and do not have major diseases, no food should be excluded: just be careful in portioning the food.

Everything eaten in "normal" quantities enriches our diet and brings benefits to our body.

If you have doubts about the "normal amount" of foods to be consumed, if you want to lose weight in an important way or if you have diseases, the only way to solve the problem is to ALWAYS turn to one specialist!

In addition to not working, diets taken on the internet can be dangerous!

We cannot ignore it or even get tired of saying it: a constant even if slight physical activity it is essential for the well-being of children, teenagers, adults, women, men, young and old!

Come on then! You don't need who knows which investment (certainly better if you choose to be followed in the gym by qualified professionals) and not even who knows how long!

Let's start by trying to leave the car at home whenever possible or make 40 minutes a day for one quick walk around the neighborhood!

This year, like the two previous ones, is characterized by a big one anxiety And worry because of pandemic.

We are also called to decide for ourselves and for our children whether to resort to Covid vaccines, question debated and absolutely unresolved for many.

As with diets, it is always strongly discouraged to take information from unofficial sources online, the best way is always to talk to gods doctors And pediatricians you trust, ask all the questions that cross your mind and maybe ask for a second or third opinion.

The important thing is not to start from often unfounded prejudices and not go on asking or looking for news, only to be told what you are convinced of, often wrongly!
