Jam tart: the traditional snack at grandma's house.

That magical moment when you open the oven and are overwhelmed by the delightful smell of citrus and a unique emotion reminds you of the snacks at grandma's house. The delicate and light taste of fruit will astound your taste buds, just like the crunchy and crumbly texture of the pastry. Much more than a simple dessert, much more than just a recipe, we are talking about jam tart.

The taste of this cake takes us back in time to our childhood, characterized by afternoon snacks at grandma's house. The jam tart is a genuine, simple, and incredibly tasty dessert, loved by everyone, young and old. Let yourself be enchanted by the delicacy of the flavor and the crumbly nature of the pastry, and choose your favorite jam to fill it.

Jams differ from conserves because the former are made with citrus fruits like orange, lemon, grapefruit, mandarin, and bergamot. They do not contain thickeners as citrus fruits have a strong natural thickening power.
Conserves, on the other hand, are made from other types of fruit with added sugars and additives. They usually have a fruit percentage of 35%, while extra conserves contain at least 45%. With these fantastic recipes, you can bring shy smiles to faces, gifting a sweet treat with a citrus scent.

Jam Tart Recipe: Simple and Quick

With the jam tart recipe, you can create wonderful breakfasts or snacks for your family, rich in goodness and natural flavors. Let’s find out how to make a tart with lemon jam and the necessary ingredients:

Flour 00 300g;
Egg 1;
Yolk 1;
Granulated sugar 150g;
Butter 100g;
Baking powder 1 teaspoon;
Lemon jam 450g;
Vanilla powdered sugar to taste;

Let’s see together the procedure for this delicious jam tart recipe. First, prepare the shortcrust pastry: combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, eggs, and previously softened butter in a bowl. It is important to work the ingredients by hand to obtain a smooth, compact, and lump-free dough. Wrap it in plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator for 20 minutes.
After the allotted time, take the dough and set aside one third. Roll out the remaining two thirds of dough on a sheet of floured parchment paper. Using a rolling pin, form a disk that is not too thin and place it in the tart pan.

Spread the jam inside the pastry using the back of a spoon. Take the dough piece you set aside earlier and roll it out until you obtain a layer that is not too thin. Use a knife or a specific cutter to create the typical strips of the tart. Finally, bake your jam tart for about 30 minutes. Serve it with a dusting of powdered sugar, and you will delight everyone’s palate!
