'The' Strawberry Tart

Ingredients

6 servings

• 250 g of flour
• 125 g of butter
• 70 g of sugar
• 2 egg yolks
• 5 cl of water
• 1 pinch of salt
• 25 cl of milk
• 1 egg
• 30 g of flour
• 40 g of sugar
• 1 packet of vanilla sugar
• 500 g of strawberries (or more ;)

Steps

1. 1

   DOUGH: Whisk the egg yolks and sugar until pale, then loosen the mixture with a little water.

2. 2

   Mix the flour and butter (cut into small pieces) with your fingers until you get a sandy consistency and all the butter is absorbed (!!! You must work quickly so the mixture doesn't get too soft!).

3. 3

   Pour the liquid mixture into the center of this "sand". Incorporate the ingredients quickly with a knife without overworking the dough.

4. 4

   Form a ball with your palms and knead (fraise) once or twice to make the ball more homogeneous.

5. 5

   Line a 25 cm diameter tart pan with the dough, cover with parchment paper and dried beans. Blind bake for 20 to 25 minutes at 180°C (gas mark 6).

6. 6

   PASTRY CREAM: Bring the milk to a boil with your chosen flavoring (vanilla or other).

7. 7

   Beat the egg with the sugar until the mixture forms a ribbon, then add the flour.

8. 8

   Pour the boiling milk over the mixture while stirring well.

9. 9

   Return to the saucepan over the heat. Cook while stirring very carefully. Remove from heat after it comes to a boil.

10. 10

    Pour the cream onto the tart shell and arrange the strawberries, cut in half, nicely on top.
