BERRY TARTLETS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°. On a lightly floured surface, roll dough to 1/8-in. thickness. Using a 4-in. round cookie cutter, cut 12 circles, rerolling scraps as necessary.

Steps:

• For the butter crust: place the flour, sugar, and salt into a food processor, along with the ice cold butter. Pulse for a few minutes until mixture resembles fine crumbs. Slowly add in the cold water and continue mixing until dough comes together to form a ball, about 30 seconds. Turn dough out onto lightly floured work surface and knead the dough into a smooth ball; don't overwork the dough. Cover with plastic wrap and place into refrigerator for at least 1 hour.
• Preheat the oven to 350F. Meanwhile, prepare the filling. In a large bowl, toss together the blueberries, sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon and lemon juice. Stir until berries are coated.
• Roll out the chilled dough into large rectangle; the dough needs to be on the thin side. Use a 2 1/2 inch cookie cutter or glass/cup to cut out small circles. Drop dough circles into mini-cupcake tins; I used a 24-count pan. Using your fingers or the bottom of a shot glass, press the dough into the bottom and sides of tin. Top with a generous and overflowing amount of blueberries.
• Bake the mini tarts at 350F for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges of the tarts turn a golden brown color. Remove the tarts from the pan, using a spoon, onto a cooling rack to cool completely.
• Once cooled, drizzle the top with melted white chocolate. I used the microwave to melt mine and placed the chocolate into a zip-lock bag, then cut off a tiny tip off the edge.

MINI BLUEBERRY PIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F.
• Onto a flat work surface lightly dusted with flour, unfold one sheet of puffed pastry. Lightly dust the surface of the pastry with flour. With a rolling pin, lightly roll until square spreads to the size of a 12" x 12" square. Slice into eight evenly sized squares. Gently tuck squares into eight muffin cups, leaving the four corners of the squares loose at the top.
• In a medium bowl, combine blueberries, flour, sugar, vanilla and water.
• Spoon blueberry mixture into the pastry-lined muffin cups, filling each cup 2/3 full. Loosely fold the corners of the exposed pastry over the berry mixture.
• With a pastry brush, brush melted butter over each pie. Then dust each with sugar.
• Bake for 25 to 30 minutes or until the pie tops are lightly browned and puffed-crisp.
• Cool for 1-2 hours. Wait until the pies are sufficiently cool before removing from the pan. If necessary, use a butter knife to gently work around the outside of each to remove.
