Mini Jam Tarts
- 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
- 2 large egg yolks
- 2 tablespoons ice water
- 1 tablespoon heavy cream, for egg wash
- 1 cup best-quality jam, in assorted flavors
- Make the crust: In a food processor, pulse to combine flour, sugar, salt, and cinnamon.
- Add butter and pulse until mixture resembles coarse meal.
- Combine 1 egg yolk with the water and drizzle evenly over flour mixture.
- Pulse just until dough comes together.
- Press dough into a disk and wrap in plastic.
- Refrigerate until firm, 1 hour or up to 1 day.
- Preheat oven to 375F.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out dough just thinner than 1/4 inch.
- Cut out round or square shapes and press into 2- to 3-inch tartlet tins.
- Trim excess dough flush with rims; fill each shell with 1 1/2 to 2 teaspoons jam, and decorate tops with cutouts or thin strips of dough.
- (Assembled tarts can be refrigerated for several hours.)
- Combine remaining egg yolk with the cream; lightly brush over dough.
- Bake until pastry is golden brown, 20 to 25 minutes.
- Unmold tarts and let cool completely on a wire rack.
