Method

Place flour on a surface and rub in butter and salt until loosely combined with visible butter lumps.

Add iced water gradually to form a rough dough, wrap in film, and chill for 20 minutes.

Roll dough into a 40x20cm rectangle, fold into three, turn, and repeat twice more with 30-minute chills.

Grind basil, pine nuts, Parmesan, and garlic in a mortar while adding olive oil to make a paste.

Preheat your oven to 200°C.

Roll 275g of pastry to 2mm thickness and cut six 12cm discs with scored edges.

Place discs on parchment, brush with mustard, add cheese and tomatoes, drizzle oil, and brush edges with yolk.

Bake the tarts for 12 to 15 minutes until the pastry is golden-brown.

Garnish the tarts with homemade pesto and fresh rocket leaves to serve.
