- This can be done the day before.
- Dust counter with flour
- Roll dough sheets out into rectangles ( x) and cut to shape
- Each half will make 6 large rectangles for 6 tarts total
- Place about 3 spoonfuls of Heidi’s Strawberry Jam in the center of each rectangle keeping the edges clean.
- Place another dough on top and begin to seal the edges very well. If the dough is dry, a little water will help.
- After sealing use a fork to press all edges to seal and poke a few holes on the top to allow steam and trapped air to escape.
- Chill in the refrigerator for an hour or overnight.
- Place on parchment lined baking sheet
- Egg wash top of tarts and place in preheated oven
- Bake at 375 to 400 ° for 20 to 25 minutes until golden brown. While baking, make icing, drizzle over warm pastries and allow to cool 10 minutes before serving.
