Starwberry Jam Tarts

Strawberry Jam Tarts
Yield 30

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup salted butter
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup milk
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup strawberry jam, seedless
Powdered sugar for dusting

Heat your oven to 350F and have ready an ungreased mini-muffin or mini-tart pan.

In the bowl of a food processor combine the flour, sugar, milk, vanilla, and butter. Pulse until the mixture forms a ball.

Turn the dough out into a floured board and form into a log. Divide the log in half and divide each half into 15 pieces.

Place a ball of dough in the cup of a mini-muffin pan and, using a dough tamper or your fingers, press down until the dough reaches the top if the cup.

Spoon about one tablespoon of jam into each tart shell, making sure the tart shells are not too full.

Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the tarts are golden brown and the jam is bubbling.

Cool in the pan for 30 minutes before removing to a rack to cool the rest of the way.

Dust with powdered sugar before serving.
