CHOCOLATE TARTS

Preparation Method :

• Sieve the flour. Rub the butter into the flour till the mixture resembles breadcrumbs.
• Add sugar, salt, vanilla and egg yolk and mix well.
• Add cold water to make the pastry hold together. Make a ball of dough. Don't knead too much. Cover with clingfilm. Refrigerate at least for 20 - 30 minutes.
• Add superfine sugar to the dough and carefully roll into individual tarts. Bake it at 180°C / 350° F for 15- 20 minutes or till golden brown.
• Whisk the cream with the golden syrup in a heavy bottomed pan over medium heat. Pour into another container. Cool.
• Chop the chocolate into small pieces. Melt it over a double boiler until smooth.
• Whisk the cream into the melted chocolate. Blend in 3 tablespoons of the softened butter.
• Spoon into individual baked tarts. Keep to cool in the refrigerator till the chocolate sets. Bring it to room temperature one hour before serving.
