DAISY TART SHELLS 8 oz (250 g) 1 flour tsp (1 ml) salt 4 oz (125 g) 1 icing sugar 4 oz (125 g) 1 cold butter, cubed about 1-in (2.5 cm) 2 egg yolks 1 tbsp (15 ml) whipping cream 1 tsp (5 ml) vanilla extract 1 In food processor, pulse together flour, salt and icing sugar for 10 seconds. Add cold butter and process until mixture resembles coarse sand.
2 In a small bowl, lightly whisk together egg, whipping cream and vanilla extract. With food processor running, slowly add egg mixture until it forms a dough ball. 3 Transfer dough to clean surface and flatten slightly to form a disk about 1½‑in (3.75 cm) thick. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour. 4 Remove dough from refrigerator and allow to rest at room temperature for about 15 minutes. Meanwhile prepare two 12-muffin baking pans as follows: grease 6 alternating muffin cups in each pan, leaving at least 1 empty muffin cup between greased ones. 5 Place dough between 2 pieces of parchment paper roughly 15-in to 18-in (38 cm to 46 cm) long. Roll dough to about -in (0.5 cm) thickness. Remove top parchment paper. Using 4-in (10 cm) flower-shaped cookie cutter, cut 6 flowers. Use each pastry flower to line greased muffin cups on 1 baking sheet, arranging petals to slightly fold over top surface of pan like a flower. Lightly press edges and bottom of each flower cup. 6 Gather remaining pastry and form into pastry disk about 1½-in (3.75 cm) thick. Repeat previous step to create 6 more flower pastry shells in remaining greased muffin cups. 7 Using a fork, poke holes along bottom and sides of pastry in muffin cups. Refrigerate for about 30 minutes. 8 Preheat oven to 350 F (180 C). Bake chilled pastry shells until edges of pastry turn golden in colour, about 12 to 15 minutes. 9 Remove from oven and allow pastry to cool in pans on wire rack. When cool, gently remove tart shells from pan and store in airtight container at room temperature until ready to use, for up to 2 days.
