2 cups flour
0.25 teaspoons salt
1.5 teaspoons sugar
1 cups shortening
0.5 cups water
1 units filling
1 cups sugar
1 cups flour
1 sticks butter
2 units eggs
1 jars raspberry preserves

Steps:

  • For the crust in a mixing bowl, combine the flour, salt, and sugar. Add the shortening and work it through with your hands until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add the water, 1 tablespoon at a time, and work it in with your hands until you have a smooth ball of dough. Wrap the dough in plastic and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  • Remove dough from fridge and place on a lightly floured surface and roll out to about 1/4 - 1/2 inch thick. You can use a glass or biscuit cutter to cut out circles. Place cut outs in a muffin or tart pan. Place a 1/4 tsp. of the preserves in the center of each crust. In a mixing bowl mix beat the filling ingredients and then place 1 tablespoon of filling over the preserves in each crust. Bake at 400 for 20 min or until lightly browned.
  • Mix confectioners sugar, extract and milk until desired consistency. You may add more sugar to thicken. Frost each tart after cooling and then top with a piece of a maraschino cherry if desired.
