Jam tart

Woolworths is committed to sustainability via our good business journey. Seasonal (and other) products might not always be in stock.

This was inspired by my trips to Italy where I often had a slice with a steaming cortado. Use whatever jam you fancy.

Ingredients

300 g flour
150 g icing sugar
2 t baking powder
2 free-range eggs, beaten
2 free-range egg yolks, beaten
280 g butter, cubed at room temperature
1 cup raspberry jam
milk, for brushing

Cooking Instructions

1. Combine the flour, icing sugar and baking powder in a large bowl. Make a well in the flour, then add the eggs. Cut in the butter and eggs using a butter knife until a dough forms. Wrap in clingwrap and chill for 30 minutes.

2. Preheat the oven to 180°C. Grease a 28 cm tart case and roll out the dough to a thickness of 3 mm. Cover the bottom of the tart case with half the dough and prick with fork. Spread the jam onto the base.

3. Cut the remaining dough into strips and create a lattice on the jam using the strips of dough. Brush with milk and bake for 30–35 minutes. Serve warm or cold.
