If you are a fan of yummy and simple summer recipes then I have something just for you.
It’s Summer Mini Fruit Tarts – a lovely combination of fresh fruit, whipped cream and cute homemade tart shells.
A summer dessert you need to make really soon… 
Here’s what we need.
Super simple!
1. First, preheat the oven to 355 F (180 C).
2. Using your electric mixer, mix the butter and sugar until fluffy.
3. Add the egg and mix to combine.
4. Then add about 2/3 of the flour and continue mixing.
5. Finally, add the rest of the flour and working with your hands, form a nice smooth dough ball.
6. Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface into about 1/10-inch (2 mm) thickness.
7. Using a cutter or a glass with a diameter of 3 inches (7.5 cm) or slightly more, cut out circles.
Just like this.
8. Grease and lightly flour the back side of a mini muffin pan.
Yes, we are working with a flipped mini muffin pan here. Fun, huh?
9. Cover every other mini muffin cup with a cut out circle and then crimp the edges.
10. Bake at 355 F (180 C) for about 15-20 minutes or until beautifully golden.
11. Remove from the oven and let cool completely.
12. Then fill your shells with sweetened whipped cream and lots and lots of fresh fruit.
I used a little vanilla custard too, and it was delightful, indeed.
These lovely tarts taste best when refrigerated.
Enjoy, dear friends!
Love,
Petra
(This recipe makes about 20 mini tarts.)
well i am gonna look dumb but what is icing sugar and what is cake flour?…….i bake and cook alot but never heard of these 2 things?
I looked it up on Google cause I am going to make this today — icing sugar is powdered sugar and cake flour can easily be made by doing this: http://www.ehow.com/how_2107935_make-cake-flour.html
Basically you add some cornstarch to your regular flour and sift it all.
Hope that helps some.
