Jam Tarts

Note: Jam tarts are super easy, I just couldn't remember how long I like to cook them so wanted to note it here. I don't make my own shortcrust pastry because it's a pain, but if you want to just look up a recipe.

Makes 12 jam tarts with enough pastry left over to make a few more
tart tin, lightly floured (sprinkle on a pinch, run it round the sides with a finger then tip out excess)
180°C Fan (preferred) | 200°C
20 minutes

320g
Shortcrust Pastry, pre-rolled
Cut 12 scalloped circles using 8cm diameter pastry cutter. Push into tin, sticky side (side that was touching the parchment) up.
1 jar
Jam, Jelly, Curd or Marmalade of choice
Put about 2 teaspoons in each case (about ⅔ full), then bake.

Once they come out the oven let them cool a minute or two before very gently twisting the top to make sure they loosen from the pan.
Leave to cool a couple more minutes before moving to a wire rack.
