Babsie's Tarts




Source of Recipe


"The Grilling Season by Diane Mott Davidson" pg 218


List of Ingredients




1 cup unsalted butter, softened
3/4 cup sugar
2 egg yolks
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 teaspoons finely grated lemon zest, * see note
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (high alt. add 1 Tbsp.)
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 1/4 cups blanched slivered almonds, ground, *see note
1 cup best-quality seedless red raspberry jam

Recipe



Beat butter until creamy. Add sugar and beat until thoroughly incorporated. Beat egg yolks slightly with
vanilla and lemon zest. Add to creamed mixture, stirring thoroughly. Sift dry ingredients together, then
stir into creamed mixture. Stir in almonds.

Preheat the oven to 350 . Spray two nonstick cupcake pans with vegetable oil spray. Using a 2 tbsp scoop (or measuring out in 2 Tbsp. increments), place one scoop of batter into each cupcake pan.

Pat the batter gently to cover the bottom of each cup. Do not indent the dough or the jam that is to be cooked in the center will leak through. Place 2 teaspoons of jam in the center of each tart.

Bake for about 15 minutes, until the batter has risen and turned golden brown around the jam. After the pans have been removed from the oven, use a sharp knife to loosen the edges of each tart. Allow the tarts to cool in the pan until cool to the touch, at least 1 hour. Using a kitchen knife, gently lever the tarts out onto cookie racks and allow to cool completely. You may serve them plain, or sprinkle with powdered sugar and serve with a scoop of best-quality vanilla ice cream. Makes 2 dozen.

NOTE: Citrus zests and nuts are easily groun in a clean coffee grinder.
