I'm a huge fan of Louise Cake, so when I came upon this recipe on Food In a Minute for Louise Muffins, I had to try it. They're as delicious as they sound, but it takes a bit of practice to get them out of the muffin tins nicely - I recommend the use of silicone mini muffin tins.
Ingredients:
75g butter, softened
1/4 cup caster sugar
2 eggs, separated
1 cup flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 cup strawberry jam
1 Tbsp sugar
1/4 cup coconut
Method:
1. Preheat oven to 180°C. Lightly grease muffin tins.
2. Cream butter and sugar until light and creamy and add the egg yolks. Stir in the sifted flour and baking powder and mix to a soft dough. If dough is too soft, chill for 20 minutes in the refrigerator wrapped in plastic wrap.
3. Roll out the dough between 2 sheets of baking paper and cut 12, 6-7 cm circles. Gently place these circles into the muffin tins to form the base. Divide the strawberry jam between the bases.
4. Whisk the egg whites with sugar until stiff peaks form and then fold in the coconut. Divide meringue between the tarts and place just below halfway in the oven.
5. Bake for 15-20 minutes until golden. Leave in the tins for a few minutes before cooling on a baking rack.
