Preparation of the mini crumble tarts

DOUGH WITHOUT BIMBY: In a large bowl, combine all the dough ingredients and start working it with your hands. The result should be a crumbly, sandy mixture, not compact.
DOUGH WITH BIMBY: Pour all the dough ingredients into the Thermomix (Bimby) bowl, close the lid and run at speed 4 for 30 seconds. You should obtain a crumbly mixture.
1 – Take half of the dough, compact it with your hands and then roll it out with a rolling pin. Now cut 12 discs and place them into the muffin tin cavities. Prick with the tines of a fork.
2 – Put one or two tablespoons of jam in the center of each tart and then cover them with the remaining crumbly dough.
BAKING: In a static oven at 338°F for 35-40 minutes. They should turn golden on the surface.
When they are cold, if you prefer, you can dust your sweets with a little powdered sugar.
