Maple Syrup Tartlets
Ingredients
- 2 cups (500 ml) unbleached flour
- 1 pinch of salt
- 1/2 cup (125 ml) sugar
- 3/4 cup (180 ml) unsalted butter, very cold, cut into pieces
- 2 tablespoons (30 ml) white vinegar
- 3 tablespoons (45 ml) ice water, approximately
- 1 egg
- 1/4 cup (60 ml) flour
- 1/4 cup (60 ml) 35% whipping cream
- 2 cups (500 ml) maple syrup
Instructions
- In a food processor, combine the flour, salt, and sugar. Pulse for a few seconds. Add the butter and pulse for a few seconds at a time, until the mixture is crumbly. Add the vinegar and ice water. Pulse again, a few seconds at a time, adding a little water if necessary, until the dough just begins to form a ball. Remove the dough from the food processor. Form into a ball with your hands. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
- Roll out the dough into a 2-mm (1/8-inch) thick sheet. With a 9-cm (3 1/2-inch) cookie cutter, cut 20 circles and line twenty 7.5 x 2-cm (3 x 7/8-inch) aluminum tart pans, bringing the dough up the edges. Place the tarts on a baking sheet and chill again for 30 minutes.
- With the rack in the lowest position, preheat the oven to 190 °C (375 °F).
