With the milder weather here at long last, now is the ideal time to spend some time in the garden and get some jobs done ready for summer. But once done, you can reward yourself with that much-deserved mid-morning break; just you, your cuppa and a Lemon Daisy Tartlet.
A variation on the classic jam tart, it's a perfect for springtime treat and makes a fun family activity.
Ingredients
- Shortcrust pastry - ready made or home made pastry both work perfectly
- Ringtons Lemon Curd, Jam, or Marmalade
- Beaten egg for glazing
- Flower shaped cookie cutter
