Recipe review: Basic Shortbread Base KIS P28
« on: December 28, 2013, 12:54:09 pm »
I got this book for Christmas, so needed to make something immediately.
 I found that I had to mix this pastry a little longer in my ThermoChef in order for it to come together. I placed about a tablespoon of the pastry into silicon cupcake liners and pressed down with my fingers to cover the base and sides. As I made each one, I placed them in the freezer until I had filled all 12 cupcake liners. I cooked them in the oven for about 15 minutes. When they were cool, I took them out of the liners and then filled them with lemon curd and topped them with whipped cream and a bramble berry.
The pastry was crisp and delicious - just right for a fruit based tart. I got a lot of compliments for these little tarts, and will definitely make these again.

I love how you have done a thin case, I dislike thick cases as they overpower the filling. Looks very delicious and I wish I could have one. Is a brambleberry a blackberry or mulberry?

They are a cross between a raspberry and a Blackberry.  They are quite tart as berries go, but delicious all the same.

A great cook is one who can rustle up a fabulous family meal with some freezer burnt chops, wilted carrots, sprouting potatoes and cabbage that's gone brown on the cut edges.

ES I'm looking for a base for lemon tarts for my finger food party. Would this be too fiddly for smaller tarts?

Kezza,

I don't think this would be too fiddly for smaller tarts. I'd give it a try as I really liked this pastry.
