- If you are making the pastry yourself, mix the flour and salt together. Add the butter cut in small cubes and rub it in the mixture to resemble fine bread crumbs. Gradually stir in the butter to create a firm dough. Roll and cut with a glass round shapes. Put them at the bottom of muffin forms.
- Preheat oven at 375F.
- Heat oil in the pan and add the onion with a little salt. Cook 5 min until softened ( not brown) and add the garlic. Cook another minute. Add splash of wine and cook 1 more minute. Let cool.
