A shortcrust pastry with less flour and a little yeast for a softer cake, to be filled literally in spoonfuls! Here's how to prepare it
There soft spoon tart it's a delicious cake, but why do we call it pie if it's soft?
The dough is similar to a pastry, because it contains eggs and butter, but less flour and is therefore softer.
Then there is also the yeast and therefore the result is that of a leavened and softer tart.
The funny thing about this recipe is that it is decorated very coarsely with the jam simply adding it to the surface by spoonfuls and this can also be a nice activity to do with i children in the kitchen.

Tart with delicious creams
This is the basic recipe that obviously can be revisited using instead of jam also of custard or spreadable creams with hazelnuts or al pistachio.
You can also add a spoon of unsweetened cocoa in the dough to make it dark, or of the lemon zest or cinnamon to give it perfume.
Single portion tarts
The idea of the single portion when it comes to such simple cupcakes.
You can cook the dough in muffin molds and add the spoonful of your choice to the center of each.
But these tarts also go very well with the fresh fruit.
Before putting them in the oven, decorate them with the jam and mangari of blueberries or raspberries.
These portions are also nice to present to a buffet or to one snack with children.
