Ingredients
- 250g berry jam
- Pastry:
- 500g plain flour
- 75g sugar
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1⁄4 tsp salt
- 150g butter, cubed
- 1 egg
- 1 egg yolk
- 1 tsp lemon rind, grated
Method
Step 1
In bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. With a pastry blender, add in the butter until in coarse crumbs.
Step 2
In small bowl, beat together the egg, egg yolk and lemon rind. Using a fork, stir into crumbs to form dough. Press together. Divide in half.
Step 3
Press slightly more than half of the pastry over the bottom and up side of 23 cm tart pan with a removable base. Spread with the jam. Wrap the remaining pastry in a plastic wrap; refrigerate the pastry and tart shell until firm, about 30 minutes.
Step 4
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the remaining pastry until about 1⁄2cm thick. Cut out star shapes with a star cutter. Place the stars over the top of the jam so that they are overlapping slightly.
Step 5
Bake in centre of 180°C oven until pastry is golden, about 45 minutes. Let cool on rack. Dust over icing sugar and serve.
