Jam-filled pastry cups, the five-ingredient bake that starts every kid's baking life. Flaky, buttery pastry around a filling that actually tastes of the season. Good warm or at room temperature the same day.

Ingredients

Butter3 tbsp
Salt1/2 tsp
All-Purpose Flour2 cups
Sugar1 tsp
Golden Raisins2 tbsp

Instructions

1
Cube the cold butter and return it to the fridge while you measure the rest.
2
Rub the butter into the flour until you have pea-sized crumbs, then bring it together with ice water.
3
Rest the dough, wrapped, in the fridge for at least thirty minutes — relaxed dough will not shrink.
4
Work the golden raisins and sugar into the dough, folding gently for even distribution.
5
Bake at 190 C / 375 F for 35-45 minutes until deeply golden and bubbling; cool before slicing so the filling sets.

Chef's tip

Salt is the missing ingredient in most home desserts — a small pinch makes chocolate and caramel taste more like themselves.
