Steps for Preparing Smart and Super Fast Tartlets
First, cut the cold butter into small pieces and place it in a bowl. Add the sugar and start working it with the butter. Then add the egg and work with a fork.
Add the sifted flour, baking powder, salt, and vanilla (or grated citrus zest if you prefer). Mix with a fork and then with your hands until you have a smooth and homogeneous mixture.
This dough does not need to rest, so roll it out with a rolling pin. Use the bottom of a wet small glass to create indentations in the pastry, trying not to puncture it. Bake at 356°F for 10 minutes.
Remove the pastry from the oven while not fully cooked, and using the previously used small glass, reshape the indentations that have shrunk a bit. Finish baking for another 10 minutes. Remove from the oven, let it cool, and fill the indentations with jam or spread. Cut with a knife to form our tartlets.
Storage
You can store them for 2-3 days under a glass dome.
