Misses Valentines

Some loves San Valentine's day, others don't and prefer not to celebrate it. I think everyone should do what he feels like doing, without having to think about what is popular and what is not.
I do like San Valentine's day and because I do I prepared something special to celebrate it with my husband.

Happy Valentine's day!!

Ingredients for the crust
300g flour
130g melted butter
90g sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon backing soda

for the filling
Custard Cream
Jam
Nutella

Preparation
Put all the ingredients for the crust in the mixer/kitchen robot and knead for 1 minute.
Make a ball with the doug, cover it and let it rest in the fridge for 1 hour.

Using a rolling pin roll the dough until it is 2-3 mm thick. Use the four to avoid the doug get stuck on the pin or on the table.
With a round cookie mold, cut out the doug and place it in paper muffin cups you will have placed in the muffin pan.

Fill with the custard cream or jam or Nutella!

Bake at 175 C degrees for 25-30 minutes if you filled with cream or jam, 15 minutes if you filled with Nutella. Each oven is different so you better check the crust: when it gets golden on the edges Misses Valentines are ready!

I suggest not to mix different filling in the same pan: depending on the filling the baking time might be different.

If you fill with cream you can decorate the cake with a candied cherry: add the cherry on top after having baked the cakes.

Another idea could be to add some chopped pistachio on top before backing them.

Any of these alternatives have been a success, my guest have appreciated all of them. Enjoy!
