One of my hobbies consists in baking a bunch of tartlet shells, then on every random occasion whip up a tartlet.
Baking nice tartlet shells can be technical, adding filling is often much simpler.
The left tartlet has toasted hazelnut pieces, a creamy caramel layer then a honey & dark chocolate ganache. Decadent!
The right tartlet has a pastry cream layer (2:30 min in the microwave!), raspberry jam & raspberries. Lighter & fresh!
Is there like a baking / pastry mastodon, a community sharing tips on baking? If you have good people or hashtags (or whatever other way to plug in), let me know? There's a ton on Instagram but it's not a great place to chat.
Today I experimented with creating tartlet shells with high walls by cutting silpain bands into a circle. It's messy but the result is quite nice. Now to figure out what to put inside, there's lots of room! (Height is 4.5cm, almost 2")
