Cute Cherry Jam Tarts Recipe

How to make it

---

• Preheat your oven to 425 degrees.
• In a large bowl or a food processor add the cornmeal, flours, salt, baking powder, sugar.
• Add the butter to the dry ingredients .
• Use a pastry cutter or 30-35 quick pulses of the food processor, blend the mixture until it resembles tiny, sandy pebbles.
• Put mixture into a medium bowl and add 1 1/2 cups of milk.
• Stir with a fork just until everything is combined.
• (You are going to roll out the dough, so if it is too wet, stir in a couple extra tablespoons of flour, if it is too dry stir in an extra tablespoon or two of milk. )
• Don't overwork the dough or tarts will be tough. Stir only as much as you have to.
• Place dough onto a well floured surface.
• Shape into one large mound and roll out until it is about 1/3-inch thick. Pat with more flour if it is sticky.
• Cut dough with a medium cutter (about 2-inches across), then cut half the rounds with a slightly smaller cutter (about 1 1/2-inches) to make the outer edge rings of the tart.
• Brush the large rounds with a bit of egg white (this will give the tarts a golden color).
• Place the outer rings on top, brush with the egg white, and fill with a tablespoon or two of cherry jam.
• Place on a baking sheet and bake for 10-13 minutes (a rimmed baking sheet is important to use because the tarts tend to have a bit of runoff and you want to prevent a mess in your oven).
• Makes about 1 - 2 dozen tarts, depending on the size of your cutters.
