How To Make queen mary tartlets

Step 1

Combine the flour and salt in a bowl and rub in the butter until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs. Stir in the sugar.

Step 2

Mix the egg yolk with 2 Tbsp. cold water and add to the mixture, then knead to a dough. Roll out thinly on a lightly floured board, cut into 12 rounds with a cookie cutter and place in a muffin tin.
Step 3

For the filling: cream together the sugar and butter; then beat in the egg. Add the mixed peel and sultanas. Divide the mixture between the tart shells.
Step 4

Bake in a preheated 375-degree oven for 30-35 minutes or until golden and set.
