Servings 30 tartelettes
Ingredients
Tartelette dough
- 60 g macadamia nuts
- 80 g icing sugar
- 180 g flour
- 3 g salt
- 110 g butter
- 30 g beaten egg
Egg yolk glaze
- 20 g egg yolk
- 20 g cream 35% fat
Instructions
Tartelette dough
- First blend the macadamia nuts and the icing sugar into a fine powder. You can use any kind of nuts you like.
- Then transfer the flour into a bowl and also add the salt, the powder we just made, the butter and the beaten egg. Now mix it well and then knead it into a soft even dough.
- Cover the dough and let it set for at least 2 hours in your fridge.
- After that dust some flour on your worktop and roll out the dough till it’s around 2 to 3 millimeters thin. If needed dust some more flour on the dough in between. Now cut it with a round cutter.
- Place the dough circles on some tartelette molds and press the dough in the corners. I didn’t grease the molds, otherwise the dough will slight down while baking.
- Use a pallet knife or the back of a knife to remove any excess dough. Also use a fork to make small holes at the bottom of the tartelette, this prevents the dough from raising up.
- After that let them cool down in your freezer for 20 minutes and then bake them at 170 °C for around 15 minutes.
Egg yolk glaze
- While the tartelettes are baking mix the egg yolk with the cream. Then take the tartelettes out of the oven and remove them from the molds. If necessary use a grater to level the sides.
- Now you can already use the tartelettes like this, but I like to brush them with the yolk and cream mixture. Then bake them for another 10 minutes. This will make them super shiny and they stay crispy when filled.
- Once you’re happy with the color take the tartelettes out of the oven.
