The Dr CaSo's jam bites !

Here's a recipe I want to share with you. I made it some months ago and I liked it. I took it from my Internet dear friend, Dr CaSo.
But I have to say there's a complicated part... Surprise ! 

Here what you'll need for 16-19 jam bites. 

• 1 egg yolk
• 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
• 180 grammes of flour
• 80 grammes of white sugar
• 125 grammes of cold unsalted butter.
• Strawberry jam or whatever kind of jam you like, but most of all ... without pieces of fruits. More practical. Believe me. The next time, I'll try with Nutella.

Your oven must be preheated at 180°C (350°F / Th6)

Step 1 : 
Stir egg yolk and vanilla together.

Step 2 : 
Mix together flour and sugar. Then add butter cut in small pieces and knead with your finger tips, until it's become as for a crumble. 

Step 3 : 
Pour the egg/vanilla and knead again until it becomes a pastry.

Then, in the fridge for one hour minimum ! 

Step 4 : 
In the meantime, arrange some little muffins mold, and two utensils supposed to help you. Yes, I said "supposed"...

A wooden spoon with a round handle and... something supposed to fill your cakes. Yes, I said "supposed" once again.

Step 5 : 
After one hour, get out the pastry from the fridge, put some flour on your hands and model, quickly, some small balls, of 2, 3 centimeter diameter. 

Too much criminal movies ... To show you the ball's size...

Step 6 :
With your spoon, make little wells in your balls. Take care to not make a hole in them ! 

Step 7 :
And NOW ... LADIES AND GENTLEMEN ... Till there, everything was easy, right ?
It's time for you to understand what MESS REALLY MEANS ! 
On my dear friend's blog, she just says : "I took a little plastic sandwich bag and put my jam in it" ...
Yeeeeaaah ... dear DR CaSo ... IT DID NOT WORK WITH ME !!! 
When I did the recipe months ago, I failed at this step. My kitchen was a war place !
But those cakes are really good, so I decided to try once again, with the adapted utensil ! 
Wrong idea ... 
WELL ! The goal is to fill the cake with jam. So, truly ... do as you can ! Maybe, no... Surely, you'll be more talented than me ! 

In the oven for 15-20 minutes. Let them cool

Taaadaaaa ! Bon appétit !! There are perfect with coffee, for example. Delicious.

Sprinkled with some icing sugar.
