How difficult is to make tarts? I would say... mmmm... not so much. If you follow the steps. And I can assure you it will take you 5' to make the dough, half an hour to bake and lots of time to taste and enjoy...
With this basic recipe for tarts I will give you as well three different ideas of putting in your tarts and enjoy with friends.
Are you ready to (s)tart?????
Tarts
Preparation time: 5'
Waiting: 30'
Baking time: 30'
People: (depending on the size of tarts) for 3 cm diameter tarts: 25-26
Ingredients
1 medium egg
100 gr confectioner's sugar
200 gr cold butter cut into small cubes
300 gr flour for all uses
Put all ingredients in the mixer and beat with the mixing hook until you have a solid but soft dough that doesn't stick at all to your mixer walls. Put it in a bowl by forming a ball and leave it for 30 minutes to rest,
Time to make a dough with your rolling pin... Open the dough with your pin to 30 cm thick and 3 cm diameter length. Use the dimensions of your forms and you could use them as well to cut the exact piece of dough you need to use for each, following its cycle dimensions.
Preheat the oven to 170 degrees (Celsius).
Place carefully each piece of dough in the form and try to press slightly the bottom and the walls to the form in order to have balanced thickness in the whole. Try not to push your dough to the bottom. You have a soft mixture and needs to be treated carefully.
Last but very important part with two steps: with a form make short cuts within the dough in your form (this will help the tart "breathing"while baking in the oven. Then place and adopt little baking papers to each of your tart so that they become almost one piece.
Time to bake. Place your tarts with the baking paper and beans for 15 minutes to the oven. After 15 minutes, withdraw the beans and paper and re-place to bake for another 15 minutes, Then leave them of the over to absolutely cool.
And now the powerful tip to have always your tarts crunchy and not softened. Melt chocolate in bain marie and leave it for a while to cool (not to become thick). With a brush put paint some chocolate in the inside part of the tart and let it dry.
Proposals for your tarts:
Combined tastes of:
Orange creme patissiere with bitter chocolate ganache
Chestnuts mousse with white chocolate

(ready to put beans and bake...)
Then throw carefully in each of your tarts beans. This will help your tart to bake in right shape while you have it in the oven the first minutes.
And now the powerful tip to have always your tarts crunchy and not softened. Melt chocolate in bain marie and leave it for a while to cool (not to become thick). With a brush put paint some chocolate in the inside part of the tart and let it dry.
