About our mini jam tarts
We all know afternoon tea is just not the same without jam tarts, and these mini jam tarts are perfectly paired with a cup of tea.
In our recipe we've used a mixture of jams including strawberry, raspberry, and apricot. But you can use any of your favourite jam or even lemon curd.

Method
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 190˚C (170°C fan, 375˚F, gas mark 5).
Step 2
Place the flour into a large bowl. Add the diced butter and rub the butter in using the fingertips, until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs.
Step 3
Stir in the sugar. Add the egg yolk and 1-3 tbsp of chilled water and mix with a palette knife until the dough starts to come together in a ball.
Step 4
Knead very briefly to make the dough smooth then chill in the fridge for 20 minutes to rest.
Step 5
Place the dough onto a floured work surface and roll to about 3mm thickness.
Step 6
Cut circles of dough with a cutter, to fit a small tart tin. Prick the base of each one gently with a fork.
Step 7
Spoon a teaspoonful of jam into each pastry case. Roll any remaining pastry and cut tiny shapes to place on top of the jam.
Step 8
Bake for 20 minutes until golden. Leave to cool on a cooling rack before eating - jam gets very hot!
