How to Make Banbury Tarts
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a medium bowl, combine 1/2 cup raisins (or craisins), 1 tablespoon orange zest, 2 tablespoons orange juice, and 1 tablespoon lemon zest and 1 tablespoon lemon juice. Mix well and let sit for 10 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out your prepared pastry dough to approximately 1/8-inch thickness.
- Using a 3-inch cutter or knife, cut the dough into squares.
- Place a scant tablespoon of the raisin mixture in the center of each square.
- Fold each square in half to form a triangle, pressing the edges firmly to seal.
- Brush the edges of each triangle with a little water to ensure a tight seal.
- Using a sharp knife, carefully cut a small 'x' into the top of each tart.
- Place the tarts onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the tarts are golden brown. For crispier tarts, bake at 400°F (200°C) for 15 minutes.
