Tips and Tricks
Make sure the butter is at room temperature before starting the recipe to ensure easy mixing. Use a fork to prick the bottoms of the tartlet shells to prevent them from puffing up while baking. Be patient while making the caramel low heat and constant stirring is key to getting the right consistency and color.Nutrition
