The smell of strawberries is summer for me. We have been eating strawberries for dessert almost every day since they are in season. So when I saw this recipe for Strawberry Tartelettes and how easy it was to make, I wanted to try it for a sunny afternoon. We had them as an afternoon delight with some rose lemonade with lemon juice and extra ginger.
Here's the recipe of you want to make them:
(Recipe found in the Delicious magazine Nederland - june issue)
500 gr of strawberries
180 g of sifted flour
65 g of sugar
A pinch of salt
3 egg yolks
100g unsalted butter
In a large bowl, add the flour and make a well in the center.
Add sugar, salt, egg yolk and mix slowly.
Add butter and mix well, until a smooth and homogeneous paste. Form a ball, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
Roll the dough on a floured surface and cut out 6 circles.
Fill the tartelette pans with the dough and place them in the freezer for 30 minutes.
Bake blind for 12 min on 180° degrees.
Leave to cool on a wired rack.
5 tablespoons of cranberry or red fruit jam
1 tablespoon of water
Warm the jam with the water and brush the bottom of the tartelette with the jamArrange the strawberries and brush some over the jam over for that lovely shine.
