Rhyming Cheese Tarts

Our coffins fair for this rhyme
We must make them ahead of time.
Ingredients we need to gather ‘round:
Flour by the cup, not a pound
Sugar, half the amount, to give some flavor
Butter, melted, we’ll use it later
Saffron and water, we’ll add it to the mix
Instructions for this tasty fix:
In a bowl, flour and sugar we’ll blend
Butter, melted, we’ll add in the end
Saffron bloomed in water hot,
Two tablespoons is not a lot.
Stir it all up, until it’s a crumble
Using our hands, so that we do not fumble.
Gather the dough, form it into a ball
Flatten it out, give it a quick sprawl
Wrap it up, on the counter let it sit
Preheat the oven, let it heat until it’s fit.
Flatten it out, fit it in our tart dishes
Press it in, trim the edges, if those are your wishes
Prick the bottom, so steam can escape
Bake it up, until it’s golden and great.
Cool it down, then fill with your choice
Serve it up, hear everyone rejoice.


Filling to make our tarts
Ingredients to gather, let’s make a start:
Crush the saffron and add it to a cup
Add some water and heat it all up.
Eggs beaten without salt if you please,
Take the same volume of our basket cheese.
Half that volume of sugar fine for a sweet touch
Instructions to make these tarts tell so much:
The cheese and sugar you must grind
So that a paste is made very fine.
Add the water and saffron
To color it well anon.
In with the eggs beaten well
Mixed fine before we add them to our shells
The taste and color should be like bliss
Pour the filling into the shells, don’t be remiss
Bake it up, until the filling is set
Let it cool, then serve it, don’t fret
Enjoy these tarts, they’ll surely please
A tasty snack, with cheese, eggs, and saffron, at ease.
