Sourdough Discard Tarts

Sourdough Discard Tarts

  • 1 cup + 1 tsp all-purpose flour
  • 8 tbsp cold butter
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 2 tbsp sugar
  • 1/2 cup sourdough discard
  • 1 tsp vinegar
  • 1/2 cup filling*
  • egg wash
  • Glaze: 1/2 cup powdered sugar, 1 tsp water

For the crust:

Whisk together flour, sugar, and salt. Grate cold butter into flour mixture and combine until crumbly.

Add sourdough discard, and vinegar. Bring mixture into a ball, press into a flat rectangle shape, wrap and chill for 1 hour.

Assembly: 

Preheat oven to 350 degrees (F). Prepare a baking sheet with parchment or a silicone baking mat.

Roll dough to 1/4 inch thickness and cut into 4 strips. Brush the edges with the egg wash and add filling. Use a fork to crimp the edges and brush tops with remaining egg wash.

Bake for 20-30 minutes or until golden.

Allow to cool before adding glaze.

Notes*

Any filling can be used, however, fruits and jellies may seep out of the dough during baking.

My personal favorite is 1/4 cup brown sugar, 1 tsp cinnamon, 1/2 tbsp flour. I mix any leftover filling with the glaze for extra cinnamon flavor.
