Recipe: Mini Brown Butter Peach Tarts

Ingredients:

• 2-3 ripe peaches, thinly sliced
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
• 3/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter
• 2 large eggs
• 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder

Directions:

1. Prepare the Shortbread Crust:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a medium bowl, combine the flour, granulated sugar, and salt. Add the cold, cubed butter.

2. Mix the Crust:
Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, blend the mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs. Press the mixture evenly into the bottom and up the sides of mini tart pans.

3. Bake the Crust:
Bake the crusts for 15 minutes or until lightly golden. Remove from the oven and set aside to cool.

4. Make the Brown Butter Filling:
In a small saucepan, melt 1/2 cup of butter over medium heat. Cook until it turns a deep golden brown and develops a nutty aroma, being careful not to burn it. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

5. Combine Filling Ingredients:
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, sugar, vanilla extract, 1/4 cup of flour, and baking powder. Slowly pour in the cooled brown butter, whisking continuously until well combined.

6. Assemble the Tarts:
Arrange the sliced peaches in the baked tart shells. Pour the brown butter filling over the peaches, filling each tart shell nearly to the top.

7. Bake the Tarts:
Bake for an additional 25-30 minutes, or until the filling is set and slightly golden on top. Let the tarts cool before serving.
