Preparation Time: 30 minutes Baking Time: 20 minutes Total Time: 50 minutes Number of Servings: 8 tartines Recipe History Strawberry jam tartines have a rich history, often associated with festive meals or weekend indulgences. The recipe I will share today has evolved over the years, with each cook adding their own touch of creativity. Regardless of the occasion, these tartines symbolize conviviality and the joy of sharing delicious moments with loved ones. Ingredients - 1 large, fresh egg - 100 g powdered sugar (choose a quality sugar for a fine texture) - Lemon zest puree (made from the zest and juice of a lemon, boiled with sugar until it becomes a sweet syrup) - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract or a vanilla pod (for a rich flavor) - 2 tablespoons strawberry liqueur (optional, but recommended to enhance the aroma) - 250 g flour 00 (high-quality flour will ensure a fine texture) - 1 teaspoon baking powder - 50 ml oil (sunflower oil is ideal) - Strawberry jam (choose a natural jam without preservatives) - Powdered sugar for decoration Step-by-Step Instructions 1. Preparing the Dough Start by sifting 100 g of powdered sugar into a large bowl. Add the egg, vanilla extract, and lemon zest puree. Mix well until you obtain a smooth and fluffy mixture. 2. Adding Dry Ingredients Continue by incorporating the strawberry liqueur, sifted flour, and baking powder. Finally, add the oil and mix everything until a soft dough forms. If the dough is too sticky, you can add a little more flour. 3. Chilling the Dough Form a ball from the dough and wrap it in plastic wrap. Let it rest in the refrigerator for 30 minutes. This step is essential for achieving a crispy texture. 4. Preparing the Tart Forms While the dough chills, prepare the tart forms. Grease them with oil and sprinkle a little flour to prevent sticking. 5. Shaping the Dough After the dough has rested, take it out of the refrigerator and roll it out on a floured surface, evenly and as thin as possible. Use a pastry wheel to cut shapes that fit into the tart forms. 6. Baking the Crust Place the dough circles in the prepared forms, making a few holes with a fork to prevent puffing. Cover each tart with a sheet of baking paper and add some rice or beans to keep the weight. Bake in a preheated oven at 180 degrees Celsius for 10-15 minutes. After that, remove the paper and rice and let them bake for another 5 minutes until lightly golden. 7. Filling the Tarts Once the crust is ready, take them out of the oven and let them cool slightly. Fill each tart with strawberry jam. If you want to add a touch of shine, you can brush the jam with a little melted gelatin. 8. Preparing the Cookies Using the remaining dough, you can create cookies. Shape thin biscuits and brush them with a little milk for a golden crust. Bake them on a tray lined with baking paper until they become crispy. 9. Final Assembly Place the cookies on top of the tarts filled with jam, then dust with powdered sugar for an elegant look. Serving Suggestions These tartines pair perfectly with a cup of fruit tea or a fragrant white wine. You can also serve them as an elegant dessert at a festive dinner or simply to treat yourself on a weekend afternoon. Possible Variations If you want a different note, you can replace the strawberry jam with raspberry jam or a mix of berries. Additionally, for a more intense flavor, you can add some chopped nuts to the tart dough. Frequently Asked Questions - Can I use another type of flour? Yes, you can experiment with whole wheat flour, but the texture will be different. - How can I store the tartines? They store well in the refrigerator, in an airtight container, for 2-3 days. - Can I use other fruits for the filling? Of course! Any favorite jam can be used, from peaches to plums. Nutritional Benefits These tartines provide a source of carbohydrates and can be a healthier choice compared to other desserts, especially if you use natural ingredients. Strawberries are rich in vitamin C and antioxidants, contributing to a balanced diet. So, I wish you great success in making these delicious tartines! Each bite will be a true pleasure, and your loved ones will surely appreciate your efforts. Enjoy your meal!
