Star tarts with raspberry jam are perfect for the holiday season. A quick treat made of crunchy shortcrust pastry and raspberry jam, simple to make and quick to bake.
The star decoration can be made in any other shape and adapted for any time of the year. Instead of raspberry jam, you can use blueberry, mixed berries, or strawberry jam. A classic shortcrust pastry that you can prepare the day before and roll out when needed.
Since I don’t have tart molds, I used a muffin tin. With the same shape, I also made the gingerbread tarts with blueberries, very fragrant thanks to the spices.

Steps: Star Tarts with Raspberry Jam
First, place the butter cut into pieces and the sugar in a bowl.
Now start kneading by pinching the butter pieces and sugar with your fingertips. Add the egg and the yolk and continue working by pressing the dough with your fingertips.
Add vanillin, flour, salt, and baking powder, working with your hands just enough to form a ball.
Wrap the shortcrust pastry in plastic wrap, flatten it slightly (this will make it easier to roll out) and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
After the resting time, place the shortcrust pastry on a lightly floured work surface and roll it out with a rolling pin, using a little flour to prevent it from sticking.
To make these tarts, you need a metal muffin tin.
Using a pastry cutter or a glass, cut out circles of pastry and place them in each hole of the tin, so that a raised edge is created, like muffin liners.
Prick the bottom with a fork, fill with a tablespoon of raspberry jam, and place a star cut out with a star-shaped cookie cutter on top.
Knead the leftovers and continue until all the shortcrust pastry is used up, then bake the tin with the tarts at 350°F for 18 minutes. Check that they are lightly golden, if necessary, continue baking for a couple more minutes and take them out of the oven.
Let them cool before removing from the tin.
Put the sugar in the bowl and grind for 15 seconds at speed 10, then gather at the bottom with the spatula.
Add the butter cut into pieces, flour, egg, yolk, vanillin, baking powder, and salt, then mix: Spiga for 30 seconds.
At this point, proceed as per the recipe.
