Tartlets with Filling and Meringue Frosting

Whisk together the egg yolk, powdered sugar, and soft butter

Add the flour, baking powder, and vanilla extract

Knead the dough by hand until it's firm but soft

Chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes

Divide into equal portions and press the dough firmly into tartlet molds

Make sure the bottom and sides are an even thickness

Prick the bottom with a fork and bake in a preheated 350°F oven for 10-12 minutes

Use any filling you like: jam, preserves, fruit spread

For the frosting, combine sugar and egg white and set over a double boiler

Stir constantly while warming for a couple of minutes

You want the sugar to fully dissolve

Once the mixture is slightly warm, remove from heat and start whisking with an electric mixer on high speed

Whip for 5-6 minutes until you have a thick, stiff frosting
