Elderflower Jam Tassies image

These jam-filled mini pastries are charming and distinctive. In other words, they're perfect for Mom. Elderflower liqueur has a subtle flavor that upgrades store-bought jam, adding sophistication to rustic tassies (from the Scottish word for "small cup").

Time 3h30m

Yield Makes 4 to 5 dozen

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 sticks unsalted butter, room temperature, plus more for tins
6 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
2 cups all-purpose flour
Salt
2 cups strawberry jam
1/2 cup elderflower liqueur, preferably St-Germain

Steps:

  • Beat together butter and cream cheese until smooth. Beat in flour and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Working in batches, roll dough into 1-inch balls, and press into bottom and up sides of buttered mini-muffin tins to form shells. Refrigerate for 30 minutes. (Keep remaining dough refrigerated as you work.)
  • Bake shells, pressing down centers halfway through, until golden, 26 to 28 minutes. Transfer tins to a wire rack, and let cool for 10 minutes. Gently turn out shells; let cool completely.
  • Meanwhile, heat jam in a saucepan over medium heat to loosen. Stir in liqueur. Let cool.
  • Spoon jam into shells just before serving.
