A great treat for the kids and so easy to make.  Follow our easy step guide to bake yummy jam tarts!

Utensils you will need:

Ingredients you will need:

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 180°C (160°C, gas mark 4). Grease a 12 hole tart tin with butter.

On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pastry to ½ cm thickness.

Step 4

Use a round cutter to cut discs of pastry, slightly larger than the hole in the tin, then press down into each hole.

Spoon your strawberry jam into each pastry case.  With the left over pastry, cut small shapes and place on top of the jam.
