Strawberry tart recipe
Ingredients:
1 roll ready-made shortcrust pastry
1 large egg, lightly whisked with 5ml of water
100ml strawberry jam
handful fresh strawberries, sliced
icing sugar, for dusting
Instructions:
1. Cut the pastry into squares. Brush the edges of one square with a little beaten egg mixture.
2. Spread some strawberry jam over the pastry. Top with sliced strawberries.
3. Use flower or heart-shaped cookie cutters to cut two shapes out of another square of pastry.
4. Place the pastry with cut-out shapes over the pastry with the strawberry topping.
5. Use a fork to press the edges together to seal. Brush the top of the pastry with egg mixture. Repeat with the remaining pastry and filling.
6. Put the pastries onto a lined baking tray. Bake in a preheated oven at 180C until the pastry is golden and crisp. Remove from the oven and dust with icing sugar.
