This recipe is one of my favorites and it’s quick! This dish’s ideal pairing is a warm steak with a cold salad. The salad can be prepared in any way you choose. For some crunch, I add jicama.

| Yield: | 14 mini tarts |
Ingredients
- 1 ¼ cups unbleached all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon white sugar
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 stick cold unsalted butter, cut into 1/4-inch cubes
- 5 tablespoons very cold water
- 2 cups fresh raspberries
- 2 cups fresh blackberries
- ½ cup white sugar
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour, or more as needed
- 1 pinch salt
Instructions
- Stir flour, sugar, and salt together in a large bowl. Cut in butter using a pastry cutter or 2 knives until the texture resembles coarse cornmeal, with butter pieces the size of small peas. Mix in water with a fork just until the dough comes together.
- Toss berries, sugar, flour, and salt together in a bowl to make the filling. Set aside at room temperature.
- Lightly butter or grease 14 muffin cups. Place some dough in each muffin cup and press it against the bottoms and sides to create tart shells that are 1/8- to 1/4-inch thick. Divide berry filling evenly among the tart shells.
- Position a rack in the lower third of the oven and preheat to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Refrigerate tarts for 15 minutes while the oven preheats.
- Bake tarts in the preheated oven until crust is golden brown and filling is bubbling, 15 to 18 minutes.
- You can use the crust recipe for any pie or pastry. Baking time depends on how you want your crust.
- Use 4 cups of any fruit that’s stemmed, seeded, or pitted. Chop larger fruit into small pieces. The amount of sugar you add will depend on the sweetness of the fruit. Or, use some other filling.

Reviews
I don’t think this recipe is finished? The final result of the fruit filling was essentially flower and sugar cups; I think when you said “Toss the berries”, did you mean chop them into small bits? More detail here would be fantastic.
