How to Make Galentine’s Brunch Foods : Savory Mini Tartlets

Sift Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, sift together 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 3 1/2 teaspoons baking powder, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1 tablespoon white sugar. This ensures all dry ingredients are well combined, critical for the best texture of your crust.

Mix Wet Ingredients: Make a well in the center of your dry mix and pour in 1 1/4 cups milk, 1 egg, and 3 tablespoons melted butter. Stir until the mixture is smooth and lump-free, which will create a balanced filling for your tartlets.

Preheat Your Cooking Surface: Heat a lightly greased griddle or frying pan over medium-high heat. You want it hot enough to create that crispy, golden crust without burning.

Portion the Batter: Using approximately 1/4 cup of the batter, pour or scoop it onto the hot surface. Each tartlet should be about the size of a small cookie to ensure even cooking.

Cook until Golden Brown: Keep an eye on them as they cook, flipping when golden brown on the edges. This should take about 3-4 minutes on each side. Perfectly cooked mini tartlets will leave you with crispy exteriors and a soft inside.

Storing & Reheating

To store your Savory Mini Tartlets, keep them at room temperature in an airtight container for up to two days. If you want to save them longer, refrigerate for up to a week. For freezing, wrap them tightly in plastic wrap and store in a freezer bag for up to three months. When you’re ready to enjoy, simply reheat in an oven preheated to 350°F for about 10 minutes. This will help refresh the texture and keep them tasting their best!

Chef’s Helpful Tips

Use room temperature eggs and milk for smoother batter, leading to a better texture.
Always preheat your cooking surface for a golden brown crust.
If your batter is too thick, you can add a bit more milk to reach your desired consistency.
Experiment with different fillings; spinach and feta or mushrooms and cheese are fantastic combinations!
For extra flavor, season your filling with fresh herbs like thyme or rosemary.

These delightful tartlets are not just a recipe; they’re a canvas for creativity. You might find yourself getting inspired to experiment with various flavors that reflect your taste or what’s in season. They’re perfect for any Galentine’s gathering, bringing your friends together for a lovely meal filled with laughter and good times.
