Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 350 F (180 C). Lightly grease a 12-hole tart mold.

Gradually add water, stirring with a cold knife until the pastry forms a cohesive dough.

Wrap the dough and chill for 15-30 minutes.

On a lightly floured surface, roll the chilled pastry to 1/4-inch thickness. Cut circles slightly larger than the tart mold holes.
-
Press pastry circles into the mold holes and fill each with a heaped teaspoon of jam or lemon curd.

Reroll and cut pastry trimmings as needed until all dough is used.
-
Bake for 15 minutes or until golden. Cool completely before serving.
