Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- 1 large egg yolk
- 2 tablespoons cold water
- 1 cup fresh raspberries
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon rosewater
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
- Powdered sugar for dusting
Instructions
- Make the Crust: In a food processor, combine flour and powdered sugar. Add cold butter and pulse until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. In a small bowl, whisk together egg yolk and cold water; add to processor and pulse until dough forms. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
- Prepare the Filling: In a saucepan, combine raspberries, granulated sugar, cornstarch, and rosewater. Cook over medium heat until the raspberries break down and the mixture thickens, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool.
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Roll Out the Dough: On a floured surface, roll out the chilled dough to about 1/8 inch thick. Cut into circles to fit your tartlet pans and press into the pans.
- Fill and Bake: Spoon the raspberry filling into each tartlet shell. Brush the edges with beaten egg. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until the crust is golden. Let cool before removing from pans.
- Serve: Dust with powdered sugar before serving and enjoy your Raspberry Rose Tartlets with a loved one on Valentine’s Day.
