Kiwi Tartlets
- 3/4 cup plain flour
- 3 1/2 tablespoons butter
- 1 1/2 tablespoons milk
- 2 tablespoons icing sugar
- 5 9/16 tablespoons heavy cream
- 2 medium eggs
- 3 tablespoons icing sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla essence
- Preheat the oven to 180 degrees C.
- Sift the flour in a large bowl.
- Cut the butter in small cubes, then add it to the flour and rub it in with your fingertips until it resembles breadcrumbs.
- Add the icing sugar and milk and knead the dough into a ball.
- Cover the bowl with clingfilm and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
- Transfer the dough to the working surface and use a rolling pin to roll the dough into an approximately 1/4 cm thickness.
- Carefully roll it around the pin, then line 2 tart tins, pressing gently around the edges and the base.
- Cover with baking sheet, then fill the tart tins with ceramic baking beans. This will prevent the dough from shrinking in the oven.
- Bake for 20 minutes, then remove the sheet and ceramic baking beans and bake for a further 5 minutes.
- Set aside to cool.
- To make the filling, add the heavy cream to a bowl, mix in the eggs, sift in the icing sugar and add the vanilla essence. Mix well.
- Fill the 2 pastries with the cream mixture, then bake for 10-15 minutes until the cream is set and firm to touch.
- Remove from the oven and leave to cool completely.
- Decorate with kiwi.
