Isidor’s Festive Magic Tartlets Recipe 📜
Ingredients:
For the Tartlet Shells:
- 1 1/2 cups All-Purpose Flour 🌾
- 1/2 cup Unsalted Butter, cold and cubed 🧈
- 1/4 cup Granulated Sugar 🍚
- 1 Egg Yolk 🥚
- 2 tablespoons Ice Water ❄️
For the Magic Filling:
- 1 cup Mixed Berries (Strawberries, Blueberries, Raspberries) 🍓
- 1/2 cup Cranberries, fresh or dried 🍒
- 1/4 cup Orange Marmalade 🍊
- 2 tablespoons Maple Syrup 🍁
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract 🌿
For the Festive Glaze:
- 1/2 cup Powdered Sugar 🍰
- 1 tablespoon Milk 🥛
- Festive Sprinkles for decoration 🎉
Instructions:
1. Prepare the Tartlet Shells:
- In a food processor, pulse together flour, cold butter, and sugar until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add the egg yolk and ice water, pulsing until the dough comes together. Shape into a disk, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
2. Roll and Shape:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). On a floured surface, roll out the chilled dough and cut out circles to fit your tartlet pans. Press the dough into the pans, trimming any excess. Prick the bottoms with a fork and chill for another 15 minutes.
3. Blind Bake:
- Line the tartlet shells with parchment paper and fill with baking beans. Blind bake for 15 minutes, then remove the beans and parchment and bake for an additional 5 minutes or until golden. Allow to cool.
4. Create the Magic Filling:
- In a saucepan, combine mixed berries, cranberries, orange marmalade, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Simmer over medium heat until the berries burst and the mixture thickens. Remove from heat and let it cool.
5. Fill the Tartlets:
- Spoon the magic filling into the cooled tartlet shells, spreading it evenly. Ensure each tartlet is generously adorned with the festive berry blend.
6. Make the Festive Glaze:
- Whisk together powdered sugar and milk to create a smooth glaze. Drizzle this festive concoction over the tartlets, letting it cascade down the sides. Top with festive sprinkles for an extra touch of merriment.
7. Revel in the Festive Delight:
- Allow the glaze to set, and then revel in the magic of Isidor’s Festive Tartlets. Serve these enchanting treats at your Christmas gatherings and watch as they disappear in moments of pure joy.
