Preparation of the dough for tartlets:

Preparation of the dough for tartlets:

In a bowl add the flour, the cold butter in pieces, the sugar, the egg yolk and the essence of vanilla. Knead everything very well until you get a homogeneous mixture. Prepare the molds for tartlets, either by adding butter to the molds or by putting small pieces of waxed paper. In our case we use removable molds and we apply butter to facilitate the demolding process. When the dough is ready, take small portions and place them in the tart molds, pressing well and removing the excess dough. Press well with the fork so that the mixture does not take air and take to the oven until golden brown at 250F for approximately 15 minutes.
