  3. Add the water tablespoon by tablespoon until it is a moist dough.

  4. Grease a cupcake tray and cut the pastry into rounds larger than the rounds of your cupcake tray using a large cookie cutter.

  5. Press pastry rounds gently into the tray rounds.

  6. Spoon a little jam into the pastry rounds and bake at 190°C/gas mark 5 for 12–15 minutes.

WARNING: Jam can be very hot when it comes out of the oven. Leave your tarts to cool before eating!
