Shortcrust Tartlets

Tartlets are a great edible alternative to plates for appetizers, salads or desserts, irreplaceable at a buffet table. Depending on their purpose, tartlets are made large or small, low or high.

Ingredients

Chilled butter – 100 g
Egg – 1 pc.
Flour – 220 g (1.5 cups with a capacity of 250 ml) + for working with dough
Water (ice cold) – 1 teaspoon
Salt – 1 teaspoon

Directions

Prepare all the required ingredients for the tartlets.
The oil should be solid by the time of use – place it in the cold beforehand.
Sift flour through a fine sieve and pour into a blender bowl. Cut the cold butter into small cubes, add to the flour and beat with a blender until fine crumbs form.
Pour the flour crumbs into a bowl, add the egg.
Pour in ice water and knead a soft dough very quickly. Place the dough in a bag and refrigerate for 1 hour.
Dust the table with flour. Place the dough on the table and roll it into a 0.5 centimeter thick layer.
Cut out circles from the dough that are larger in diameter than the tartlet slots.
Place the circles of dough in the baking dish, flatten and cut off any excess dough on top. Place the dough pan in the freezer for 15 minutes. Turn on the oven to heat up to 180 degrees.
Place paper baking tins on top of the dough and fill them with weights (I have lentils).
Place the tartlets in a hot oven and bake at 180 degrees for 15 minutes. Then remove the mold from the oven and remove the loaded paper molds.
Return the form with tartlets to the oven and bake for another 10-15 minutes, until light golden brown. Remove the mold and cool the tartlets completely.
You can fill such tartlets with creams, salads, mousses or sweet filling. I filled the tartlets with cream paste made from boiled peeled shrimp, feta and mayonnaise, chopped in a blender until smooth. Decorated the appetizer with vegetables, herbs and shrimps.
Bon Appetit!
