Jam Tarts like my mum used to make 101
I'm sure this is as basic as cooking can get, but does anyone have a basic pastry recipe for use in jam tarts like the ones my mum would turn out in the 60s and 70s?
Pastry, roll out, cut out crinkly circles, press into tin, add a spoonful of strawberry jam and bake. So how do I make that pastry, please? |

You need sweet shortcrust pastry. It's very easy to make.

Excellent! Thank you! I shall tackle a batch tomorrow! (Using my Mum's old rolling pin and cutter from the 60s (and they weren't new then!))
