Ingredients
THE DOUGH
1 cup all-purpose flour
½ stick (2 ounces) unsalted butter
¼ teaspoon sugar
⅛ teaspoon salt
1 egg yolk
THE FILLING
½ cup sour cream
8 tablespoons salmon caviar
2 tablespoons minced chives
Preparation
- Step 1
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
- Step 2
To make the dough, place the flour, butter, sugar and salt in the bowl of a food processor. Process for about 10 to 15 seconds. Add the egg yolk and 2 tablespoons of water. Process for another 10 seconds just until the mixture pulls away from the sides and begins to form a ball.
- Step 3
Place the dough between 2 sheets of plastic wrap and roll it out to a thickness of about ⅛ inch. Cut with a 2-inch circular cookie cutter. Press the circles of dough into 24 small, round or oval tartlet shells. Arrange on a cookie sheet and bake for 10 to 12 minutes until nicely browned. Remove from the molds.
- Step 4
To make the filling, place 1 teaspoon of the sour cream in each tartlet shell. Top each with 1 teaspoon of the caviar. Sprinkle with the chives and serve immediately.
