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.
