Mini Plum Tarts Recipes

EASY MINI PLUM TARTS RECIPE WITH PUFF PASTRY

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
• Cut plums on half, remove the pits and thinly slice.
• Thaw puff pastry, following the instructions on the package.
• Dust the counter with some flour, unfold the puff pastry, roll slightly and cut each piece (there are 2 in a package) into 9 squares.
• Mark another square, about 1/2 inch from the outside over the puff pastry, scoring a square border on the inside of the pastry. Using a fork, make some dots over the inside square. This is where the sliced plums will go, only covering the inside square.
• Brush the outside border with egg wash. Egg Wash brings out our pastry's golden color even more!
• Sprinkle each tart with sugar on top and bake for 15-18 minutes at 400 F.
• Take out of the oven, let the pastry cool for 5 minutes and remove from the pan. Dust with powdered sugar (optional).
