Mini Golden Treacle Tarts

Author: Flavelo
Recipes Cakes and Desserts Appetizers
Tartlets, or mini tarts, are an elegant way to serve classic Treacle Tart. Perfect for parties or afternoon tea. Since they are smaller, the ratio of pastry to filling changes: each bite has more crispy buttery crust to balance the sweet filling, making it feel less heavy than its full-sized sibling.

Instructions

1 ✓

Rub the flour and cold butter together with your fingertips until it resembles damp sand.

Tip: Work quickly so your hands don't melt the butter. Cold butter chunks make flaky pastry.
2 ✓

Add cold water and knead just until it comes together. Wrap and chill for 30 minutes.

Tip: Resting relaxes the gluten so the pastry doesn't shrink during baking.
3 ✓

Roll out the dough thinly and cut circles to line a buttered muffin tin.

Tip: If the dough springs back, let it rest a few more minutes.
4 ✓

Mix the syrup, breadcrumbs, lemon juice/zest, and egg in a bowl.

Tip: Lemon acidity cuts through the sugar's sweetness for harmony.
5 ✓

Fill the tart shells 3/4 full.

Tip: The filling puffs up; if overfilled, it will bubble over and burn.
6 ✓

Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 15-20 minutes until golden brown and puffed.

Tip: Small tarts bake much faster than large pies; keep an eye on them!
