Let’s make it.

Rub butter into flour until it resembles fine crumbs. Stir in sugar and enough cold water to form a dough. Chill 20 minutes.
Heat oven to 190°C. Roll dough to 3 mm thick and cut 12 rounds to line a shallow tart tin.
Add about two teaspoons jam to each case, leaving room for bubbling.
Bake 15–18 minutes until pastry is golden and cooked underneath. Cool in the tin before moving; hot jam can burn.
