Classic Strawberry Tart

Ingredients

10 servings

• 200 g softened butter
• 1 egg
• 300 g flour
• 100 g sugar
• 500 g strawberries
• 4 egg yolks
• 1 l milk
• 100 g flour
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 200 g sugar

Steps

1. 1

   Start by preparing the cream. Mix the egg yolks with the sugar. Whisk until the mixture turns pale. Add the flour and mix well. Add the flour to the sugar/egg mixture. Add 10cl of milk to make the mixture more liquid.

2. 2

   Heat the milk (90cl). When the milk is very hot, pour it over the previous mixture while whisking well. Then return everything to low heat while continuing to whisk rapidly. Mix vigorously until the cream thickens, then let it cool.

3. 3

   Move on to preparing your dough. Put the flour in a bowl, make a well, and pour in the sugar. Crack the egg on top and add the butter cut into pieces. Gather and knead to form a ball. Place your ball of dough in plastic wrap and put it in the fridge for 10 minutes.

4. 4

   Take your dough out of the fridge and place it in a lightly floured tart dish. Prick your tart with a fork before putting it in the oven. Bake for 10 minutes in an oven preheated to 220 degrees, watch the cooking carefully and don't hesitate to add a little more time if the dough is not golden enough.

5. 5

   Take it out of the oven, unmold it, fill your tart shell with cream, and add the strawberries! Little tip: if you have leftover dough, you can use an apple corer to form rounds, bake them, then sprinkle with powdered sugar before placing them on your tart for an extra aesthetic effect!
