The Queen of Heart's Tarts
Easy Queen of Hearts Tarts Recipe
- Serves: 3-6
- Prep Time: 5 minutes (longer if making pastry from scratch)
- Total Time: 30 minutes
- 16oz Ready-to-roll pie crust
- 15-18 tsp Strawberry or raspberry jam
- A sprinkle of confectioners sugar
- 1 large and 1 small heart-shaped cookie cutter (ideally 2 sizes that have about 1cm of space between them when placed one inside the other)
1, Preheat the oven to 450° F
2. Roll out your shortcrust pastry on a floured board. Using your large cookie cutter, cut out 6 large hearts
3. Place them on a greased baking tray and spread your jam reasonably thickly in the center of each one, leaving approximately 1cm around the edge free from jam. Wet the edges slightly with some water
4. Roll your pastry out again. Cut out a heart shape by using both cookie cutters this time - press down with your large cutter, then place the smaller cutter inside (aim to be as central as possible) and press that one down too. Repeat 5 times. Carefully remove the outer large heart outlines and place them on top of your 6 large hearts
5. Pinch them down around the edges to seal and prevent any jam from leaking
6. Bake the tarts for about 25 minutes
7. Cool on a wire wrack and sprinkle with icing sugar to serve
