Pie Crust Tarts with Blackberry Jam

These golden flaky tarts have humble beginnings by using the leftover pie dough. Just reroll the scrapes and spread with jam, roll up the dough, cut and bake. So simple. Sometimes you need a full batch of tarts so I am including my favorite pie dough recipe so you can have plenty.

Ingredients

Flaky Pie Crust

Instructions

Making the pie dough

  • In a large bowl mix the flour and salt together.
  • Cut in the cold diced butter and the cold vegetable shortening into the flour using a pastry cutter or two knives. The butter and shortening should be the size of peas.
  • Mix in the egg, water, and vinegar with a fork until the dough comes together. At this stage, you may need to add additional water in small amounts to bring the dough together.
  • Turn the dough onto a floured board and bring together in a ball. Cut the ball in half. At this point, you can wrap and chill the dough or continue on to assembling the tarts.

Assembling the Jelly Roll Tarts

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees and prepare two baking sheets with parchment or a silicone baking mat.
  • On a lightly floured surface roll one of the dough rounds into a large rectangle about ⅛" thick.
  • Spread your favorite jam or other fillings of your choice over the dough. I suggest you spread this fairly thin to be able to roll the dough without the filling coming out.  
  • Roll up the dough starting on the long side. Turn the seam to the bottom. Next gently cut into ½" slices and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  • Generously sprinkle the top of each tart with sugar. Repeat with the other dough ball.   Place in oven and bake for about 20 minutes or until your tarts are golden brown.
  • Cool the tarts on the baking sheet.
  • Keep these tarts in a sealed container for several days.

Notes

If using scraps of pie dough the number of tarts will vary according to how much pie dough you have.  
Just gather all the scrapes of dough and shape into a ball, flatten and then roll the dough as shown above.  I
