I remembered baking tarts like these when i was in school at domestic science class. If i could bake these when i was 14 or 15, then i should be able to bake them again but i do not have a recipe. It is not that difficult, get a short crust pastry recipe and then the filling, which is a cream cheese cake, put them together and there you have - a tart. Ingredients:
Short Crust Pastry:
4 ozs butter
2 ozs fine granulated sugar
1 egg
7 ozs all-purpose flour
Filling:
2 ozs butter
4 ozs fine granulated sugar
1 egg
4 ozs self rising flour
4 ozs cream cheese
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
2 tbsp milk
Raspberry jam
Almond slivers
Glazed cherries
Method:
Method:
Preheat oven to 350f.
To make the pastry:
Cream butter and sugar, lightly then mix in egg and cream well.
Add in flour and mix well until a dough is formed.
Leave in the fridge for at least 1 hour.
Roll out dough to 1/8 inch thickness. Cut into circles a little larger than the tart moulds. Line the tart moulds with the cut pastry and dock the base by using a fork.
Fill the pastry with a teaspoon of raspberry jam
To make the filling:
Cream butter, cream cheese and sugar until light and fluffy.

Yes Aunty Lily, I remembered my first ever Kelas Perdagangan. You see, I am from the Science class, our PE teacher decided to let us "unwind" and bake our own muffin. (She is a Domestic Science Teacher, has 20+ years of experiences). It was a wonderful experience - for a bunch of 15 years old. I didn't really get to bake again, until recently. Still bring back good memories.
Hi Lily,
The recipe you mentioned is actually called Maids of Honour (kek keju gadis mulia).
Have a good day.
