Tarts
A tart is a dessert made from pastry dough with a firm crust, which is stuffed with fruits, custard, chocolate, cream, or savory items. It is usually baked in a shallow pan. One should avoid overfilling to avoid spilling the filling.
Prepare the tart dough, chill it, put it in a tart tin, and bake it until light golden brown. Then add your desired filling and prepare it according to your recipe. Exercise caution and avoid stretching the dough during preparation.
