Equipment
Method
- Preheat oven and grease tart pan before preparing buttery pastry dough mixture carefully and evenly.
- Mix flour, sugar, and salt together before cutting cold butter into crumbly texture thoroughly.
- Stir egg and cold water into mixture until soft dough forms without becoming sticky badly.
- Press dough evenly into tart pan creating smooth edges and sturdy pastry base underneath carefully.
- Spread jam evenly across pastry crust adding lemon zest for brighter fruity flavor throughout beautifully.
- Bake tart until crust turns golden crisp and jam bubbles lightly around edges during baking.
- Cool tart completely before slicing because warm jam creates gloriously messy dessert situations instantly everywhere.
- Serve tart slices plain or topped with whipped cream for extra cozy homemade dessert happiness.
Notes
Bake slightly less for softer pastry or longer for crispier golden edges depending on preferred texture. Freeze cooled tart slices individually for quick desserts later. Let tart cool fully before slicing for easier assembly handling. Add almonds, cinnamon, or different jams for flavor customization. Store covered up to four days.
