STEEMIT CULINARY CHALLENGE # 30: Cute mini pumpkin tart
Hi steemians,
It s the tart week! I was so excited about the tart challenge and could not choose which one shall i bake... sweet or savoury ?
So my girls decided for me, cute little pumpkin tart for lunch box.... hmm....
Note: I have reduced the sugar in this recipe and find it works well, you may use standard one for the better results.
oh no... forgot to take out the tart...haha..so here is how the crusts look like
here is my recipe
Ingredients for crusts
60 g butter
150g all purpose flour
15g sugar(would be nicer if you use 45g, but i want less sugar intake for kids)
50g egg
5-10ml milk
ingredients for pumpkin filling
130g pumpkin peeled, cut into chunks
15g caster sugar
50g egg(one size 7 egg)
65ml milk
1tsp corn flour
few chocolate buttons for decoration
Method
for the crusts, mix all ingredients together, when you can not find any excess ingredients on the side of bowl, stop! do not over knead the dough, it might reduce the crust layers.
Cover with plastic warp and refrigerate for at least half hour
now making the pumpkin filling
add little water to pumpkin and microwave or steam it for 3-5 minutes.
drain the pumpkin and put with all other ingredients together inside blender to make pumpkin puree
Pour the pumpkin puree through a strainer
now take out the crust dough, roll it into 10 small balls and flatten it out to a circle
put circles in to tart molds, use fork to punch some holes for crunchier tart
fill in the pumpkin puree
heat oven to 350 degrees F fan bake option, bake for 15-20 minites..
Remove from oven and allow to cool slightly, use the chocolate button to decorate the mini tarts...
kids could not wait until tomorrow...
happy kids and happy tarts

Thank you @knittybynature, it s nice to make foods kid like,so I don't need to eat all of them^_^. Loved the berry tarts you made too!
Haha I know what you mean.Sharing with family is the best! I am always amazed how quickly food cooked for hours can disappear and how much happier everyone become after eating it :) And thank you for praising my tart!
That s exactly what I meant. ^_^
Oooh @emilymichelle I LOVE these little tarts, they're super cute! And so are your children! I like that you reduced the sugar, it's much healthier for them this way :-) Pumpkin is a fantastic vegetable, sweet and smooth and brightly coloured, perfect for tarts. I adore how you made the little faces on them! Good luck!
Thank you @ woman-onthe-wing, indeed pumpkin is great for all kind of dishes...nature sweet is much better than sugar ^-^. I always try to reduce butter and suger intake and kids now think store sold one is too sweet...hahahaa
I agree with you @emilymichelle... I don't give my son sugar to eat either, or anything containing artificial ingredients. The health of our children is the most important thing! You are right when you say nature sweet is best :-)
well done @emilymichelle ! they look very tasty !! good luck with the challenge
