Tartlets - these small baskets of dough - were once invented specifically for buffet tables. This is how the issue with dishes was solved in an original way: guests at the holiday ate treats along with small baked plates!

Tartlets can be filled with a variety of salads, meat pates, fish, shrimp, caviar, cheese... and many, many other various products.

Ready-made tartlets are made from different types of dough and are sold in the form of ready-made molds in whole sets. They can be of different sizes and thickness.

Shapes vary from round to elongated boats, stars and even hearts.

But what to do if you don’t have purchased tartlet preparations on hand, or you just really want to do some magic in the kitchen for guests or your loved ones?

I will introduce you to several options for preparing tartlet dough: from simple to quite sophisticated.

Is it difficult to make tartlets yourself? Even novice housewives can cope with this culinary wisdom. I am sure that these delicious edible baskets will take their rightful place on your holiday table. And you will cook them, try them yourself and treat them to others!

So let's get started...

What kind of flour is needed for tartlet dough? There are options: some prefer the highest grade, others cook exclusively with gray wholemeal flour. By the way, it produces more aromatic baskets with a pronounced taste.

A how to achieve a nice yellow color baked dough? It's very simple - add a little cornmeal.

What to have on hand for making tart shells at home?

  1. Oven, microwave or frying pan - it all depends on the specific recipe.
  2. Muffin tins (metal, silicone) or cups, on the bottom of which a basket will be formed.

Dough for tartlets It happens:

  • shortbread, puff pastry
  • sour cream, cheese, potato, corn
  • salty, fresh, sweet

Personally, I respect the first two: puff and shortbread make the densest tartlets that won’t get soggy under any snacks. And besides, they stay fresh the longest and don’t go stale.

Three recipes for shortcrust pastry tartlets baked in the oven

1. Mixer to help

Let's take:

  • flour 300 g
  • egg - 1 piece
  • butter - 100 g
  • salt - half a teaspoon
  • sugar (or better yet powdered sugar) - half a cup
  • a little vanilla sugar for flavor.

Sweet baskets - for sweet fillings!

Remove sugar from the recipe and make unsweetened shortbread dough, which makes excellent tartlets for meat, fish, cheese and salad snacks. Experiment with salt and find your taste!

On the table:

  • baking tray
  • Bowl
  • beaker
  • mixer
  • molds
  • knife and spoon.

Begin prepare:

  1. An hour before cooking, the butter and egg should warm up to room temperature, so take them out of the refrigerator.
  2. Divide the slightly softened butter into pieces, put it in a mixer and mix until creamy at low speed.
  3. Add sugar (or powdered sugar) and immediately vanilla sugar. Continue beating at the same speed.
  4. Sugar/powder has dissolved - now add the egg. Gently beat the mixture further until the egg is mixed with the butter.
  5. It's time for the flour. Pour it in and using a mixer (or by hand) knead the dough until a homogeneous ball appears.
  6. We wrap this lump in a plastic bag (or cling film) and put it in a cool place for half an hour.
  7. The dough has cooled down. Now we divide it into 6-8 parts and place it on the bottom of the molds.

Attentively

The layer must be uniform, otherwise you will get a crooked tartlet.
Make sure that the dough is carefully pressed along the sides. Then the edges are smooth and neat.

  1. You don't have to do the next step! Personally, I skip it. But…
    If you want to observe all the “culinary decency”, then know that experienced housewives claim that the prepared molds with dough will be tastier, more tender and rosy if you put them either back in the refrigerator for half an hour, or immediately in the freezer, but then only for 15 minutes .
  2. Now comes the fun part!
    Preheat the oven to a temperature of 180-200 degrees, place the molds with dough in it and wait for 15 minutes. Check readiness by color - the tartlets will become soft golden.
  3. We take the tartlets out of the oven, cool them directly in the molds, and then take them out, carefully helping yourself with a knife or fork.
  4. The tartlets are ready, you can fill them!

Sand tartlets are remarkable in that they perfectly serve as an edible plate, while remaining crumbly and tender.

2. Recipe for hand kneading

Let's take it:

  • flour 300-400 g
  • butter 150-200 g
  • sunflower oil (for greasing the molds, if they are metal)
  • sugar, salt (to taste).

On the table: glass of water, bowl, baking dishes.

Begin prepare:

  1. Take a glass, pour clean water into it, and add salt and sugar, stirring. If you make unsweetened tartlets, you don't need sugar.
  2. Stir until the salt/sugar dissolve. Now put the glass in the refrigerator for about half an hour.
  3. Let's proceed directly to the dough: pass the flour through a sieve into a bowl - this will clear it of lumps and saturate it with oxygen.
  4. Soften the butter a little at room temperature and cut into small pieces to make kneading easier.

  1. Add the butter to the sifted flour and knead – you get this butter-flour “crumb”.
  2. We remember that there is no water in a glass in the refrigerator! We take it out and pour it into a bowl and stir the mass until it becomes homogeneous.
  3. Roll the dough into a ball, wrap it in cling film (or just a bag) and put it to “rest” in the same refrigerator for 4 hours...
  4. ...The dough is ready, now we line the molds with it, greasing each one with sunflower oil.

Knead the dough, carefully distributing it over the mold.

Pay special attention to the edges.

  1. Place the molds with the dough in a preheated oven and bake the tartlets at a temperature of 180-200 g for about 15-20 minutes.
    We determine readiness as always by its juicy golden color.
  2. We take the molds with the prepared baskets out of the oven, let them cool, take out the tartlets, put in the filling and surprise your friends at the festive table!

3. Delicate baskets on sparkling water

Let's take it:

  • flour 2.5 cups
  • 2 eggs (you can only take yolks, but then 4)
  • butter 150-200 g
  • salt 1.5 teaspoon
  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar (or sugar)
  • a little turmeric for a golden hue of the baskets (on the tip of the knife)
  • glass of sparkling ice water.

Begin prepare:

  1. Cool 1 glass of mineral water in the refrigerator until ice-cold.
  2. Sift the flour and mix it with salt, sugar (powdered), turmeric.
  3. Stir pre-softened and chopped butter into the dry mixture.
  4. Add eggs (or yolks) one at a time.
  5. Add mineral water.
  6. Stir until smooth and put in the refrigerator to set for half an hour.
  7. Line tartlet molds with dough.
  8. Bake the tartlets in the oven at a temperature of 180-200° for 20-25 minutes.
Shortbread dough tends to rise, so the tartlets are not very deep. There are a couple of secrets here: lightly prick the dough with a fork and place a few beans on the bottom (directly on the dough) or fill the molds with the dough with dry peas. You will remove the legumes after baking, but the dough will not rise.

Let's add two videos to this section. Watch how to make tartlet dough and shape them in a tin.

1. Preparation of shortcrust pastry.

2. Making baskets.

Puff pastry tartlets without molds

Will need:

  • sifted flour - two full glasses (maybe with a slide)
  • butter: melted and then frozen 180-200 g.

On the table: bowl, knife, baking sheet.

Begin prepare:

  1. Crumble - cut frozen butter into small pieces.
  2. Sprinkle flour on the table in an even layer and place small pieces of butter on top.
  3. Using a knife, chop the flour and butter into small, small particles - almost until smooth.
  4. Pour ice water into this mixture and thoroughly knead the puff pastry.

It is absolutely normal if small pieces of butter are visible in the butter-flour mixture - it will make the tartlets more airy and tender.

Or it could be like that...

If you don’t know how to make puff pastry or simply don’t want to bother with it, then buy ready-made dough in the store, which you can store in the refrigerator, and at the right time turn it into delicious tartlet baskets.

You can clearly see the process of making puff pastry tartlets in the video.

    Buffets are increasingly replacing traditional holiday, anniversary, and wedding banquet feasts, and the ideal serving of snacks at these buffets is tartlets.

    Buffets allow all friends, colleagues, and guests to communicate more with each other, and not be confined only to their neighbors at the banquet table.

    The history of the appearance of tartlets in Europe dates back to the 15th and 16th centuries. According to some sources, a tartlet is nothing more than a Neapolitan open pie in a reduced form. According to others, tartlets are the result of a transformation of a French dish called “pate,” that is, “pate,” which was prepared in baskets made of raw or prepared dough, filling them with all kinds of fillings. The written mention of tartlets as an independent dish is recorded in a French cookbook of 1631. Tartlets became widespread worldwide thanks to the merits of French chefs in the 19th century, and at the same time they appeared in Russia.

    Tartlets are a festive snack. Baskets for them are baked from various types of dough. The cooled baskets are filled with any salad or a wide variety of products.

    The finished tartlets are decorated with herbs, slices of vegetables, eggs, fruits and served on a flat dish covered with a paper napkin. Sometimes molds with dough are filled with ready-made filling and baked in the oven along with it.

    In addition to traditional dough baskets, you can make cheese baskets. They cook very quickly and look impressive when serving various dishes. In them, as in dough ones, you can serve salads, seafood, julienne, basically anything you like.

    Cheese baskets

    To prepare, take 200 grams of grated hard cheese. Mix with a full tablespoon of corn or potato starch, add crushed garlic to taste.

    In a well-heated frying pan, lightly greased with vegetable oil, spread 2 tablespoons of the resulting mixture evenly over the surface in the form of a pancake.
    As soon as one side has set, remove from the pan and immediately place on an inverted cup or any other vessel whose shape you want to give the product. To prevent the cup from straightening at the initial moment, you should grab the basket on the cup with a thin elastic band.

    When preparing your own dough and fillings, follow these recommendations:

    -The dough must lie in the refrigerator for at least an hour, it will be easier to work with.

    -After placing a thin circle of dough in the mold, do not forget to press it down either with special weights or dry beans. This will keep the bottom of the basket flat and even.

    -The more filling in your basket, the tastier it is. Don't be sorry!

    -If you put a fairly dry filling in a tartlet, for example based on chicken breasts, then generously grease the inside of the basket with some suitable sauce, then it will be tasty and not dry.

    -The smaller the salad ingredients are chopped, the more delicate the taste of the tartlet. The exception is large shrimp, which are also used as a decoration for baskets.

    -In the smallest tartlets you need to put caviar, expensive types of fish, foie gras, and spicy fillings. And in large baskets - simpler salads and pates, sweet and fruit fillings.
