Cooking Time: 20 minutes

Ingredients

• 1 Recipe pastry for a 9-inch double crust pie
• 0.25 Cups raspberry jam
• 0.25 Cups butter, softened
• 0.25 Cups white sugar
• 1 Whole egg
• 0.5 Cups all-purpose flour
• 0.25 Teaspoons (tsp) baking powder
• 0.25 Teaspoons (tsp) almond extract
• 2 Teaspoons (tsp) confectioners' sugar

Steps

1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) and position the oven rack to the bottom. Lightly grease 12 2-inch tart tins to prevent sticking.
2. Roll out the pastry dough and cut it into 12 3-inch circles. Gently fit each circle into a tart tin, pressing lightly to form the shell. Spoon 1 teaspoon of raspberry jam into the bottom of each tart shell, spreading it evenly.
3. In a medium mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and white sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy. Beat in the egg until well combined. Gradually add the flour, baking powder, and almond extract, mixing until the batter is smooth and all ingredients are thoroughly incorporated.
4. Spoon 1 tablespoon of the batter over the raspberry jam in each tart shell, smoothing the top with the back of the spoon.
5. Bake the tarts in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until they are risen and firm to the touch. Remove from the oven and allow them to cool slightly in the tins.
6. Once cooled, gently remove the tarts from the tins and dust them with confectioners' sugar before serving. Enjoy the delightful combination of flavors and textures in each bite.
