Ingredients

(Make sure you check with an adult first!)

1 x packet of ready-made shortcrust pastry

A jar of your favourite jam

A packet of gummy bears

Instructions

1.

Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6.

(make sure a grown up helps you with the oven)

3.

Unwrap and roll your pastry so it’s about the thickness of a £1 coin.

5.

Dollop 1-2 tsp of your chosen jam into each one and pop a little Gummy Bear sweet inside.

Now your jam tarts are ready to bake!

2.

Butter a 12-hole tart tin, then dust your work surface with flour.

4.

Use a round cutter to cut out 12 circles, big enough to line the holes in the tin and press the pastry circles into the tin.

6.

Ask a grown up to help you put them in the oven and bake for 12-15 mins or until golden and the filling is starting to bubble a little. Leave to cool in the tin for a few mins then carefully transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
