Quince Tartelettes À La Rose

• For the pie crust
• 3 cups flour, sifted
• 2 egg yolks
• 1 cup sugar
• 5.3 ounces butter, at room temperature
• Pinch of salt
• For the filling
• 3.3 pounds quinces
• 3.5 ounces brown sugar
• 1 ounce butter
• 100 milliliters rose water
• 1 teaspoon cinnamom
• 6-7 cardamom pods, seeds only
• 4-5 cloves
• 1/2 teaspoon aniseed
• 1.7 ounces raisins
• juice and zest of 1 lemon

1. Start with making the pastry. On a smooth surface (preferably marble) pour flour, sugar, egg yolks and salt and knead with your hands until you form a dough (add flour if needed). Add lemon zest and knead again. Wrap the dough in a cooking plastic wrap and let it rest in the fridge for about an hour.
2. Preheat oven to 190u0b0C (375u0b0F). Peel, core and cut the quinces into small cubes. Melt the butter in a large saucepan and stir in sugar, cinnamon, cardamom seeds, cloves and aniseed. Toss the quince cubes and cook for about 15 minutes, stirring now and then. Pour rose water and lemon juice; stir in lemon zest. Now cook for about 30 minutes till quinces are soft and tender. Stir in raisins and remove from heat.
3. Take the dough out of the fridge and roll it with a rolling pin over a surface sprinkled with flour. Spread the dough 0.5 cm high and cut it with round cutters (8-10 cm diameter).
4. Grease a muffin mould with melted butter and sprinkle with flour. Place the dough rounds in each slot so to create a sort of little baskets. Pin with a fork. Fill the tartelettes with the quince mixture and bake for 15 minutes.
5. Serve hot, preferably with some brandy butter or whipped cream.
