Step 1

In a large bowl put the flower and cold butter and mix quickly until the flour is completely absorbed. In this step, you are not going to ha e an actual dough but more a crumble. Try to make it as fast as possible so the butter does not become warm.

Step 2

Put now in the bowl the dry ingredients such as lemon zest, baking powder and sugar. After that add also the egg yolk and start mixing all the ingredients with a wooden spoon.

Step 3

Put some flour on a wood surface and start working on your dough. Knead the dough for few minutes or at least until the liquids are absorbed. The dough has to be sticky and compact. Also here, try to be as quick as possible so you don't warm up the dough too much. Once is ready, wrap the dough in plastic film an place it in the refrigerator.

Step 4

Take some of the dough and spread with a rolling pin. The other dough needs to be wrapped again in the film and placed in the fridge again. Remember to put some flour on the rolling pin and the surface so the dough does not stick to them. Try to make it as big as the bottom of the pan or the silicon mold you are using. Once ready, ease them down into the form and shape it a little. Take some more dough and do the same procedure to make the edges all around the mould.

Step 5

Your tarts are almost ready and now that the oven should be ready to, put the cake pan in it and bake for 35 minutes. If you are using small molds, consider to decrease the cooking time. To avoid that the bottom of tarts do not inflate, put a piece of parchment paper on the bottom and then add a small weight on it. You can use dried beans or chickpeas. Once the butter tarts are ready,, switch off the oven and let them cool down in it without opening it.

Step 6

Once the butter tarts are cold, fill them up with the custard and ease down some berries on top of it.
