Caramel-Almond Custard Tart (p457)
could not locate my brand new 6" tart pan with removable base,
decided to go the mini way hence became tartlets
Dorie says 'make sure the centers puff up'
I do believe that shorter bake time for the blind bake of pastry is best for
my tartlets but then again I used dark brown sugar for the pastry
better - nice and warm from the oven then the next morning
Playing catching up (FFwD made this way back in July/2011)
my version of Dorie's Salmon and Tomatoes en Papillote
sans the lemon [as DH was recently advised against any citrus for the long haul :( ]
and I did seared the halved cherry/grape tomatoes
used fresh ginger instead (non-citrus right?)
L: part of DH's lunch and R: my teatime snack with buns

LOL, well you are going to be the one that meticulously makes the mini desserts huh? :) My little ones would gobble up all of your little tarts before you knew they were missing! How cute! I'm glad that the papillote recipe treated you well! ;) Lovely Friday to you!
Your minis are so cute - wish I would have done them. Also wish I would have baked the pastry before I filled it. Sigh!
I love all your cute mini-tart pans! They look wonderful. I made tartlets, too!
Yup, designated smalls maker! Easier, no need to slice or cut - individual gifts way cuter than slices!
Hi Mardi,
Left you a tip regards soggy pastry - hope it works for you - helps me a couple of times!
Hi Liz,
Yessss! Tartlets greaaatttt!
so cute and definitely tasty!
So cute - and I love that you used brown sugar in the crust - that must have intensified the caramel flavor.
Oh, I love your cute little tarts! They look lovely!
Those micro-tarts are just adorable, Emily! And, the salmon looks good. I forgot about that one, but now I remember I enjoyed it. It's nice to see new members doing catch ups to remind us of earlier recipes.
What great mini-tarts! Kudos on the Dorie two-fer!
I have to laugh because I was whining about having to get my crust rolled into a rectangle shape- you put me to shame for sure. Of course the fact that I did not have my Cuisinart on hand did not help the mood :) Great job in playing catch up too - that salmon looks divine and ginger sounds like a fun substitute !
I am loving the oval shaped pans.. so pretty!
That salmon is one of my regular rotation meals. I love fish with ginger, so I'll keep that in mind when I make it next week.
Such cute little minis, but I knew they took more time to put together.
Beautiful presentation of your fabulous small tarts - I love the way these look like! In fact, I love all things small, especially desserts! And, of course, your salmon en papilotte looks so very delicious as well! Nice that you had a chance to catch up with that fabulous recipe!
Have a great weekend!
Your tartlets are lovely. I used to have the patience for doing that but not these days. Everyone always loves small treats. The salmon en papillote was one of my favorites! Nice job.
Fun little mini tarts :-)
We liked that salmon in our house too and have made it that way several times.
Your minis are cuter than my minis. What beautiful and delicious-looking tarts - nice job. And, going back to 2011 is very impressive. I also liked the salmon en papillote.
Your little minis are adorable!
Mini tartlets are so cute! Thanks for sharing the photos of your lunch/tea time snack. We end up eating Dorie leftovers for lunch at work often.
