Shortbread Tarts (Classic Version) - Joyofbaking.com

[@advdwalt]

Made this yesterday. First of all thank you Stephanie for this resipe, I have been searching high and low for this particular one. I use to struggle with store bought dough that just didn't satisfy my taste buds. They are hard to roll and handle and I could never seem to get use to blind bake them having to fill them with rice or beans... It always turned out a mess. This resipe off yours doesn't contain eggs or any rising agents which makes it perfect for me. I don't need the rice and beans, I don't have to roll and sweat and it tastes like heaven melting in your mouth. As always I can count on your resipe to deliver the best Baker in me 😜 your tips and tricks doesn't go un-noted and has helped me to become the better Baker I am today. Lots of love and appreciation from far far away South Africa.

[@arnazhathiram8902]

Hi, can I arrange the dough in the muffin pan and freeze overnight? Can I bake them just before serving?

[@joyofbaking]

You could use jam, ganache, caramel (dulce de leche), lemon curd, pastry cream.

[@victorbryant10]

thank you so much for a delightful and informative demonstration. i have been searching for a recipe that creates these tart cases, and is so similar to my mum's. i rue the fact that i never learned her pastry techniques. thank you Stephanie.

[@joyofbaking]

No, you don't have to use a food processor. You could use an electric mixer, hand mixer, or make it by hand using a wooden spoon.

[@joyofbaking]

Yes, you can do that.

[@adelkhamaj]

I made the same crust today with blueberry filling, the crust is very delicious, buttery crumbly and melt in the mouth... Thank you Stephanie

[@joyofbaking]

In the refrigerator, it can be stored about 5-7 days.

[@RenuKotian]

Made these today for the office folks...put lemon curd in them (your recipe). Big Big Hit! Thank you So So Much!!

[@joyofbaking]

Yes, you could fill them with pastry cream.

[@joyofbaking]

The day they are made the tarts are quite crisp. But they will soften with storage.

[@PassaFloraElle]

When they cool, melt white/milk chocolate and put a little bit at the bottom of the tart. Let the chocolate dry. This way the filling doesn't soak in the moisture from the filling and become mushy. PLUS who doesn't love some chocolate!?

[@ruthlafler5622]

I also filled them with lemon curd for a tea party. Or at least, I filled half with lemon curd. I piped chocolate ganache into the other half with a star tip. Both versions were a big hit.

[@joyofbaking]

You could. Or I have recipe for jam tarts on the site where I put the jam into the unbaked tart shells and bake them that way.

[@mrswhitelily2000]

thank you so much Stephanie like always your videos are stupendous!! very well explained and super delicious

[@nrsing2862]

I love to watch your program you give your recipe while baking

[@robbmurphy7998]

Very helpful~ even the demo on removing shells after baking in the pan.

[@mayinthekitchen4193]

Marvelous recipes. I tried it and the tarts turn out taste so so nice.. Thanks Stephanie.

[@joyofbaking]

Lemon curd, jam, chocolate ganache, nutella, dulce de leche, pastry cream.

[@joannehoschette345]

BTW Amazon.com has lots of types of tart pans. Reviews included.

[@zztai101]

thank you so much, i love all of your recipes!! do help me a lot in baking!!!

[@SohaJawabreh]

Very nice recipe ... I'll prepare it for my 2nd daughter's first birthday :) thanks Stephanie

[@caroltoms475]

Thank you for converting from Oz to gms and F to C

[@roslyngomez3369]

Excellent video as usual. I can always count on you to teach me something new.

[@irmarahaman4623]

Beautiful and yum thank you😊

[@maxanelle]

Could I make the crust in a standard muffin pan? I was originally going to use the shortbread crust you made in your chocolate pie video, but figured that it might not come out of the pan (I don't have mini tart pans). This shortbread crust uses more butter, so does that make it more 'appropriate' for these muffin pans?

[@joyofbaking]

Yes, you could use a standard muffin pan to make these tarts. A non stick pan is preferable as it makes it a lot easier to get the shells out of the pan.

[@caart6317]

Love your recipes.. What is the difference between this and the sweet Pastry crust dough you make for tart?

[@aunderthesun3929]

Hello Stephanie, congratulations for 1 Million subs. Truly deserving. Can I bake these ahead of time and then freeze them for how long?

[@sairanazeer7534]

I like the idea of baking tart with short muffin mould

[@winkipinki007]

Sure gonna try this! Superb! 👌

[@sincerelyforyou]

Thank you for your wonderful videos! I like the design of your tart pan. FLAT bottom and SHALLOW. Could I have the manufacture's name? where could I purchase one?

[@TheCocopie]

The filling taste so yummyyy!!!!

[@imanisse4329]

I love your cookings

[@ilovemycat333]

Can I use a stand mixer with the paddle attachment when making the filling?

[@jude7321]

Hi, what could I use instead of lemon juice?

[@taniya00700]

Doesn't cream cheese (the one that you used for the filling) have salt in it? Can I use that or is there a different unsalted variety ?

[@rockysurmises]

I tried these and I liked it, each serving was fulfilling, however, there was alot of tart fillings left and I don't want it to go to waste, How else can i use it other than this recipe? help!

[@michelleperry1423]

also what kind of stand mixer do you have? what name brand is it as I am thinking of investing in one of those and a food processor. what would you recommend?

[@joyofbaking]

I use a Kenwood Titanium Chef 5 quart mixer and a Cuisinart food processor. I like them both.

[@manualidadesconchris]

hi :) can this be baked in a big tart instead of many tiny ones?

[@هناءالفاضل-غ9ح]

Hi Thank you for the nice video 💖 , l want to ask how l can get the printed recipe

[@joyofbaking]

There is a link in the first line of the description to the recipe. If you are using a desktop computer on that page there is a link just above the video to a printer friendly page. We don’t support printing from phones.

[@هناءالفاضل-غ9ح]

Ok, thanks alot

[@danimartinez8081]

what brand/kind of butter would you recommend?

[@joyofbaking]

I use unsalted butter. If you live in the States, some good brands are Land o Lakes, Plugra, Kerrygold.

[@ConFlakey]

When the crust puffes up, do I take the pan out of the oven and prick the crust with fork? then put the pan back in and continue until the crust turns golden or how?

[@joyofbaking]

Yes that is how you do it.

[@ConFlakey]

Thanks a lot for your time replying! love your baking channel! I've tried some, and my husband's colleagues always love them!

[@priteshthakore21]

Indonesian German

[@hannadao]

What other types of unbaked filling can I use? My family doesnt like cream cheese

[@بُعدين-ن6ش]

احترت ايش أسوي من كثر ما ألف كل وحده أحلى من الثانية , thank you

[@mercycutie163]

I don't use the cream cheese instead ,I use jam,do I have to go through the same process??

[@jacq0317]

love it!

[@abrokenandacontriteheart1308]

I love these ... a little bigger more fruits my favorite.

[@AnnabelleC888]

Lol... so true 🤤

[@enijonaenijona5153]

Joy of Baking can i use salted or unsalted cream cheese?

[@JonathanChenentercreativeurl]

I'm assuming she would use storebought regular brands like Philadelphia, which do have some salt. Avoid using more natural cream cheese because the filling likely won't thicken as much.

[@michelleperry1423]

what kind of food processor do you have and what brand is it?

[@joyofbaking]

I have a Cuisinart food processor.

[@michelleperry1423]

@@joyofbaking can't wait to get mine to use thanks for the tips

[@ideamiag]

nice

[@tammygray2856]

How far in advance can these tarts be made for an event

[@joyofbaking]

They can be stored for 3 to 4 days in the fridge.

[@margiebur]

Can I fill them with fruit and bake them that way. Instead of baking them first then putting the fruit in.

[@joyofbaking]

You could do that.

[@qianjia3999]

are the cheese tart filling same as this?

[@hayatsaddik8672]

I love your recipes, i made already the ricotta cheesecake. This one Is next hahah.. Greetings from the Netherlands

[@Nazally]

I might use your recipe for my friends baby shower, thanks

[@MrChiptatum]

Dear Stephanie I have been using your recipes for years and love your cooking style but please please list all the ingredients at the bottom of this video it would help a lot.

[@joyofbaking]

All of our written recipes are on our website. There’s always a link in the first line of the description.

[@abz661]

Where can i buy the shallow baking pan?

[@Purplepie404]

Probably target

[@lisanenguyen4959]

Can I substitute cream cheese for mascarpone? Thanks

[@joyofbaking]

I've never tried it, but it should work.

[@lisanenguyen4959]

Thank you!

[@apsaraa8209]

K I was thinking the same thing.

[@gennmartinez3686]

cause i use pastry cream?

[@valeriekakarides3369]

Would Philadelphia cream cheese be ok?

[@Purplepie404]

Yaz(yes)

[@MonieMakeup]

Omg i could see you in a baking contestcjust like masterchef but with bakers o.o omg you would win!

[@arinah]

Why is my dough too soft. And i dont get the same texture as your dough.

[@jaynegrove6575]

The white part is called the pith.

[@LILHannNyo]

do you keep it air tight or in the fridge? i left mine open air and it gets soft very very fast

[@joyofbaking]

If you fill the baked shells with the cream then they have to be refrigerated.

[@LILHannNyo]

Joy of Baking what if it's empty? it's it okay if i leave it in a paper box?

[@crystalseow2000]

Is it a must to use a food processor?

[@Purplepie404]

The dough is in the fridge chilling right now wish me luck pls 😣

[@mujahidkassim9596]

pinkyt 4 good luck

[@Purplepie404]

Mujahid Kassim A bit too late but thx

[@mujahidkassim9596]

how did it work out?

[@Purplepie404]

Mujahid Kassim Very nicely my grandmother loved 'em.

[@mujahidkassim9596]

did it puff up a lot.. I bought mini tart pans.. but they're quite shallow

[@NiceNisa]

Can I put this filling inside mini phyllo cups or will it be too sweet?

[@joyofbaking]

Sounds like a nice idea. I don't think the filling is too sweet.

[@pinkyHulaHop]

what can i use instead of condensed milk ? help :/ maybe cream ?

[@luisitagil]

Can i use lime instead of lemon?

[@joyofbaking]

Luisa Gil Yes, that would be okay.

[@dsandhumytube]

What could be used instead of cream cheese?

[@ruthlafler5622]

You can use anything that doesn't need to be baked in the shell. I've used chocolate ganache and lemon curd, but really anything.

[@sarahhoang24]

you don't use egg

[@advdwalt]

Isn't that great!? and no baking powder 😍

[@djioelantjhin1383]

F

[@pollyq100]

The printed recipe calls for 1 1/2 cups of butter, but in the video she only uses 1 cup of butter. The printed recipe should be corrected.

[@joyofbaking]

This Thursday there will be a new updated video for this recipe. Unfortunately the new written recipe got uploaded early so it reflects the changes made to the recipe.

[@advdwalt]

Saw that too and calculated it. It looks like the same resipe just a little bigger so you would get more shells out no difference in the chemistry or texture. In other words it's a resipe for a bigger batch. But the results didn't change.
