Tartlets with sweet filling

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   How to make tartlets with sweet filling? First prepare the tartlets. Measure out the necessary ingredients for the shortbread dough. Butter should be cold.

2. Step 2:

   

   Sift flour into a suitable sized bowl. Add salt, sugar, mix everything.

3. Step 3:

   

   In a mixture of dry ingredients, grate cold butter on a coarse grater.

4. Step 4:

   

   Rub everything with your hands to the state of crumbs. Do this quickly so that the oil does not have time to melt from the heat of your hands.

5. Step 5:

   

   Beat the egg until smooth.

6. Step 6:

   

   Add the beaten egg to the butter crumbs, mix.

7. Step 7:

   

   Quickly knead the shortbread dough. Wrap it in plastic wrap and put it in the refrigerator for 20-30 minutes.

8. Step 8:

   

   Take the cooled dough out of the refrigerator, roll it into a layer about 0.5 cm thick. You can roll out the dough between two layers of parchment. It is more convenient for me to do this by placing the dough in a large plastic bag. After rolling out, I cut the package at the seams and remove the top layer.

9. Step 9:

   

   Cut out tartlet mugs with a round mold. Roll out the remains of the dough again for cutting. I have a diameter of 10 cm circles. Their size will depend on the size of the molds used for baking baskets. It is better if the diameter of the circles is slightly larger than the upper diameter of the molds.

10. Step 10:

    

    Place each circle of dough in a mold, placing the dough on the sides.

11. Step 11:

    

    Spread the dough on the sides and bottom of the mold, cut off the excess dough, gently pressing on the mold from above.

13. Step 12:

    

    Prick the bottom of the molds with a fork to avoid the possible formation of bubbles during baking.

14. Step 13:

    

    Bake the tartlets in a preheated 190C oven for about 12 minutes. The baking mode and time may vary. Focus on the features of your oven. I got 18 tartlets.

15. Step 14:

    

    Prepare the custard. Measure out all the ingredients for him according to the list. If you like a sweeter filling, you can increase the amount of sugar.

16. Step 15:

    

    Combine the egg yolks with sugar and vanilla sugar, whisk until smooth.

17. Step 16:

    

    Add flour to the yolks. Rub until the lumps disappear.

18. Step 17:

    

    Pour about 120 ml of milk into the resulting mass, mix well until smooth.

19. Step 18:

    

    In a saucepan with a thick bottom, heat the rest of the milk to a hot state. It is not necessary to bring it to a boil. Over medium heat, with constant stirring, pour in a thin stream of the mass with flour.

20. Step 19:

    

    So that the eggs do not curdle, do not stop stirring the cream. Continue to cook it over medium heat. Soon the cream will begin to thicken noticeably. At the end of cooking, reduce the heat to a minimum. The finished cream drips lazily from the shoulder blade. After cooling, the cream will become thicker.

21. Step 20:

    

    Remove the finished cream from the stove. To prevent a film from forming on the surface, cover the cream with cling film "in contact " and cool.

22. Step 21:

    

    To decorate tartlets, you can use any berries and fruits with soft pulp. Choose according to your taste and desire. Wash and dry all the berries and fruits.

23. Step 22:

    

    Fill the tartlets with custard, decorate the top with berries or fruits and mint leaves. Bon appetit!
