- 150 g of wheat flour
- 75 g of butter
- 1 egg
- A pinch of salt
- 1 can of sweetened condensed milk
- 120 grams of grated coconut
For the filling (it is optional)
In a bowl, place the sifted flour and the butter. Mix with your fingers until you achieve a crumbly texture. Then add the egg and the salt, and continue working the dough with your fingers until you can form a ball with it. Let it rest covered for an hour, at a cool temperature.
Place the dough on a lightly floured surface, roll it out to achieve a thickness of approximately 0.3 cm. Then cut the shape of the mold you will use. Before baking, grease the bottom of the mold with butter and prick the dough with a fork to prevent it from puffing up or rising. Some people sprinkle flour to prevent the dough from sticking.
Bake at a temperature of 200ºC for 15 minutes. Although the correct time will depend on the specific characteristics of each oven and the amount of dough prepared. To know they are ready, simply check the toasted color of the dough and ensure they have received heat evenly. They should be golden and crispy.
You can use it with sweet and savory fillings. To make them filled with coconut, mix in a saucepan a can of condensed milk and 120 grams of shredded coconut. Cook it over low heat, stirring constantly until you can see the bottom of the saucepan when you sweep the spatula across it.
With a spoon, serve the coconut sweet with condensed milk in the tartlets. Take advantage of the time when it is hot, as it tends to become firmer when it cools. Let this delicious dessert cool and enjoy it with family and friends.
If you want to fill it with guava, just put jam and refrigerate. Some people decorate them with meringue. Another filling that is also used is Pastry Cream.
I hope you enjoy this recipe. Bon appetite!!
