Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup shortening
3 teaspoons white sugar
1 teaspoon salt
0.5 cup water
1 cup jam

Instructions

In a food processor, combine flour, shortening, sugar, and salt. Pulse until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually add water and process until a dough ball forms. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to chill thoroughly.
Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease two 12-cup muffin tins thoroughly.
Roll the chilled dough out thinly and cut into rounds using a cookie cutter. Gently place each round into a muffin cup. Add approximately 2 teaspoons of your favorite jam to each cup.
Bake in the preheated oven until the tarts are golden brown, approximately 20 minutes. Transfer the baked tarts to a wire rack to cool completely.
