Jam Tarts

  1. Place the flour in a medium bowl. Using your hands, rub the butter into the flour until the mixture looks like bread crumbs.

  4. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
  5. Preheat the oven to 350 F.
  6. Roll the chilled dough out to ¼ inch thickness. Press the dough into the tart pans. Reserve some of the dough to cut out heart shapes to place on top the jam tarts.

  8. Bake for 20-25 minutes until the crust is golden brown. Let cool before serving.
