Jam Tart

Thought I should start my first recipe blog on a sweet note :) So I decided to post a recipe for Jam Tart. Its one of those easy and quick desserts. I made it for a small dinner party i hosted sometime ago. It was a hit!! Ingredients For the base: 1 cup flour 4 tbsp butter pinch of salt For the top: 3/4 cup flour 2 tbsp jam (any flavor) 1 egg 1/2 cup castor sugar 4 tbsp butter Baking powder Vanilla essence Procedure Knead the ingredients for the base. Do not knead it too much, let it remain a little powdery Spread the dough around a shallow microwave proof dish, and bake it, till it turns golden brown. Take it out and allow it to cool. Meanwhile, whisk together all the ingredients for the topping. Once the base has cooled down a little, spread jam evenly on the base.  Pour the beaten mixture over the base Pop it in to the microwave again, and bake You can keep aside a little bit of the dough used to make the base, and use it to make a criss cross design, as shown in the picutre. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream Happy cooking! :)
