Recipe ingredients

  • l/2 cups plain flour
  • Large pinch of salt
  • 8 tablespoons butter
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 2 tablespoons cold water
  • For the filling:
    • 1 tablespoon butter
    • 2 tablespoons flour
    • 3 cups milk
    • 4 ounces Roquefort cheese, crumbled
    • 3 cups double cream
    • 1/2 teaspoon dried mixed herbs
    • 3 egg yolks
    • Salt and freshly ground black pepper

How to make roquefort tartlets

  • To make the pastry, sift the flour and salt into a bowl and rub the butter into the flour until it resembles breadcrumbs.
  • Mix the egg yolk with the water and stir into the flour to make a soft dough.
  • Knead until smooth, wrap in clear film and chill for 30 minutes. You can also make the dough in a food processor.
  • In a saucepan, melt the butter, stir in the flour and then the milk.
  • Boil to thicken, stirring continuously.
  • Off the heat, beat in the cheese and season with salt and pepper. Cool.
  • In another saucepan, bring the cream and herbs to the boil and cook until the liquid has reduced to 2 tablespoons.
  • Beat into the cheese sauce with the eggs.
  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  • On a lightly floured work surface, roll out the pastry to 8 inch thick.
  • Stamp out rounds with a fluted cutter and use to line your chosen bun tins.
  • Divide the filling between the tartlets. They should be filled or two thirds full.
  • Stamp out smaller fluted rounds or star shapes for the tops and lay on top of each tartlet.
  • Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until golden brown.
  • These can be made in shallow bun tins to serve hot as a first course. You could also make them in tiny cocktail tins, to serve warm as appetizing bite size snacks with a drink before a meal.
