Ingredients
Scale
For the Shortbread Crust
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
For the Brown Butter Filling
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 2 large eggs
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 2–3 ripe peaches, thinly sliced
Instructions
- Prepare the Shortbread Crust:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a medium bowl, mix together the flour, sugar, and salt. Add the cold, cubed butter.
- Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, blend until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Press the mixture evenly into the bottom and up the sides of mini tart pans.
- Bake for 15 minutes or until lightly golden. Remove from the oven and set aside.
- Make the Brown Butter Filling:
- In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat, cooking until it turns a deep golden brown and has a nutty aroma. Be careful not to burn it.
- Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, sugar, vanilla, flour, and baking powder.
- Slowly pour in the cooled brown butter, whisking continuously until well combined.
- Assemble the Tarts:
- Arrange the peach slices in the baked tart shells.
- Pour the brown butter filling over the peaches, filling each tart shell nearly to the top.
- Bake for an additional 25-30 minutes, or until the filling is set and slightly golden on top.
- Let the tarts cool before serving.
Notes
- Ensure that the butter for the filling is cooled slightly before mixing to avoid cooking the eggs.
- Serve warm or at room temperature for the best flavor.
