Ingredients
Scale
Essential Ingredients:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- ½ cup almond flour
- ⅓ cup granulated sugar
- ¼ teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup unsalted butter, cubed
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ teaspoon almond extract
- ½ cup raspberry jam or preserves
- Powdered sugar, for dusting
Optional Add-Ons:
- Chopped nuts (e.g., slivered almonds), for topping
- Fresh raspberries, for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a mini muffin or tart tin.
- Make the dough: In a mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, almond flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Add cubed butter and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work it in until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Add extracts: Stir in vanilla and almond extracts until the dough begins to come together. Press it into a ball—chill for 15 minutes if the dough is too soft.
- Form the tart shells: Scoop about 1 tablespoon of dough into each mini muffin cup. Press the dough into the bottom and up the sides to form a shell.
- Add filling: Spoon about 1 teaspoon of raspberry jam into each tart shell. Top with slivered almonds if using.
- Bake: Bake for 15–18 minutes, or until the edges are golden. Cool completely in the tin before gently removing.
- Finish & serve: Dust with powdered sugar and top with fresh raspberries if desired.
Notes
- For easy removal, let tarts cool completely and run a knife around the edges if needed.
- Use a piping bag for neat jam filling.
- Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days or refrigerate for longer shelf life.
