Strawberry tartlets
Description
Homemade pastries for tea. I use jam to give the tarts a shiny glaze. You can use jam with any flavor, prepared using the same principle. As cream cheese, I prefer to use mascarpone. You can also add other berries to the tarts, for example blueberries. To add freshness to your dessert, decorate the tarts with a mint leaf and powdered sugar.

Grate the butter on a grater. Add 50 g of granulated sugar, egg, vanilla, and one tablespoon of water. Then add the flour. Knead the dough thoroughly, wrap it in plastic wrap, and let it rest for 15–20 minutes.

Step 2
Grease tartlet molds with butter and lightly dust with flour. Roll out the dough to a thickness of no more than 5 mm. Cut the dough into squares approximately 15 cm in length. Press the dough firmly into the molds and trim off the excess. It is important that the dough fits snugly against the molds. Prick the dough with a fork and fill with dried peas (to help maintain the shape). Preheat the oven to 200°C and bake the tartlets for 20–25 minutes.
