Love Tarts 101: A Guide to Winning Hearts with Pastries
Love is in the air, and so are these pastries. Our love tarts are the perfect combination of flaky crust and sweet, sweet love.
But don't just take our word for it! Here's a step-by-step guide to making the perfect love tart:
Step 1: Gather Ingredients and Tools of the Trade
- 1 cup of love (we mean, flour)
- 1/2 cup of sugar (or is it honey? We're not judging)
- 1/4 cup of unsalted butter, softened (don't be a monster)
- 2 eggs, beaten (not too hard, we promise)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract (the secret ingredient)
Step 2: Mix and Mingle with the Filling
Combine the ingredients in a bowl, and stir until they form a smooth, creamy paste. Add the eggs, one at a time, and mix until fully incorporated.
Step 3: Roll Out the Dough
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough until it's about 1/8 inch thick. Cut into heart shapes with a cookie cutter or a knife.
Step 4: Fill 'Em Up with Love
Place a spoonful of the filling mixture into each heart shape, leaving a small border around the edges.
Step 5: Bake and Serve with Love
Bake the tarts at 375°F for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown. Serve warm, and bask in the adoration of those around you.
