Pretty pink rhubarb caramel tarts

Line a large baking tray with baking parchment and heat your oven to 160°C.

To make the pastry: mix the butter, sugars and flour together. Don’t work the dough for too long.

On a floured surface, roll out the dough to a thickness of 1cm. Cut it into 8cm circles and lay them on the lined tray.

Bake them for 20-25 minutes until the edges are golden. Leave to cool for 5 minutes then cool on a wire rack.

In the meantime, cut the rhubarb into 2.5cm-3cm pieces. Put in a pan with the vanilla extract.

Cook over a medium heat until they are soft but not compote – a maximum of 8-10 minutes.

Arrange the pieces of rhubarb on each tart base and bake for 5 more minutes.

To make the caramel domes: turn a few individual silicone round moulds upside down. You could also use small individual oiled metal pudding tins.

Put the sugar into a non-stick pan and cook at medium high temperature stirring all the time so the sugar does not burn.

When it is a nice caramel brown colour, take it off the heat and, working quickly and carefully, use a spoon to drizzle the liquid caramel over each mould to form a dome.

When the caramel has dried and set, remove each dome from the mould. Place it on top of the tart just before serving.
