For this preparation, the tartlets must be made with puff pastry, the variations that can be made will depend on your taste.
Take into account the following fillers so that you can get inspired and evaluate the possibility of creating something totally original.
How to make the tartlets?
The tartlets can be made with puff pastry or with shortcrust dough.
Shortcrust pastry tartlets
1. Preheat the oven to 180 °C.
2. Take some broken dough and roll it out, making sure it is at least 3 millimeters thick. And cut into circles that can go into the tart molds.
3. With the help of a tart mold, place the dough inside. Bake for a few minutes until the bases are golden. You can bathe with a little yolk to make them take on a more appetizing color.
Tartlets with puff pastry
1. The puff pastry is several layers that you must cut circularly.
We are going to have to cut 6 layers, the first 3 layers should be a little bigger than the last 3. So that an even tartlet shape is achieved around the edges.
2. Next, prepare the tart mold by covering each shape with wax paper.
3. Now, place the puff pastry sheets in the tart mold and place another layer of wax paper with something in the center so that it does not rise.
4. Place in the freezer for about 10 minutes. Then, put the tray in the fridge for about 15 more minutes.
5. It is time then to take to the oven for about 15 minutes at 200º C. Do not forget to bathe with a little egg yolk.
6. At the end of the time, remove what you have placed to make weight and return to the oven for 10 more minutes.
7. When they are ready just place on a rack and let cool.
The tartlets can be of different sizes, it may well be bite-sized, but if you don't have a tart mold you can use one for cupcakes.
You just have to contemplate the amount of filling that you have to place. Especially if they are sweet so that they do not cloak and allow you to close the meeting with a flourish.
Tartlets with Russian salad vinegret
This time we have decided to make a Russian vinegret salad to fill our tartlets.
For this salad you should have beets, carrots, onion, sauerkraut, peas, vinegar, vegetable oil, salt and pepper.
Its preparation is quite simple, but it is a salad that has its ingredients cooked. The carrot and potatoes should be peeled and cut into pieces before cooking.
The beets must be cooked first and then peeled and chopped into pieces. When all the ingredients are cold, add them to a bowl and add the rest of the ingredients and season to taste.
Tartlets with chicken and mushrooms
For this recipe you are going to require a chicken breast, or chicken leftovers that you have and that you can use. You should chop them, season them with salt and pepper, and sauté them with a little butter or olive oil.
When the chicken is slightly cooked add the chopped mushrooms. When they're done, take them off the heat and wait a bit for them to cool. Then, in a bowl, mix the cream and with the chicken and mushrooms.
Add a little more salt and pepper and reserve while you prepare the tartlet bases.
