With its dense, spicy filling, this is a twist on a traditional British holiday dessert. Ingredients:
1/3 cup packed brown sugar |
1/3 cup water |
2 tablespoons fresh orange juice |
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice |
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon |
dash of ground cloves |
1/2 pound pitted dried plums, finely chopped |
2/3 cup all-purpose flour (about 3 ounces) |
1/3 cup whole wheat flour (about 1 1/2 ounces) |
1/4 teaspoon baking powder |
1/4 teaspoon baking soda |
1/8 teaspoon salt |
1/4 cup granulated sugar |
3 tablespoons butter, softened |
1 large egg |
cooking spray |
1 tablespoon powdered sugar |
Directions:
1. Combine first 7 ingredients in a small saucepan; bring to a boil. Reduce heat, and simmer 6 minutes or until plums are tender and liquid is almost absorbed. Cool completely.
2. Preheat oven to 375°.
3. Lightly spoon flours into dry measuring cups; level with a knife. Combine flours, baking powder, baking soda, and salt; stir with a whisk. Place granulated sugar and butter in a large bowl; beat with a mixer at medium speed until well blended (about 4 minutes). Add egg; beat well. Add flour mixture; beat at low speed just until blended.
4. Divide dough into 24 portions. Roll each portion into a 2-inch circle on a lightly floured surface. Place 1 dough portion into a miniature muffin cup coated with cooking spray. Spoon about 1 tablespoon plum mixture into muffin cup. Repeat procedure with remaining dough balls and plum mixture.
5. Bake at 375° for 10 minutes or until lightly browned. Run a knife around outside edge of each tartlet; remove from pan. Cool completely on a wire rack. Sprinkle with powdered sugar.
