Ingredients:

Dough:

  • 125g butter
  • 60g icing sugar
  • 8g vanilla sugar or vanilla extract
  • 8g baking powder
  • 1 egg

Pastry Cream:

  • 500ml milk
  • 2 eggs
  • 16g vanilla sugar
  • 3 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 3 tbsp flour

Decoration:

  • Fresh strawberries 🍓
Preparation method:

Start by preparing the dough. In a large bowl, combine the butter, powdered sugar, vanilla sugar, and baking powder, then mix well until you get a creamy texture. Next, add the flour and work the mixture with your fingers until it becomes sandy. Add the egg and gently mix by hand until the dough is homogeneous. Form a ball, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 30 minutes.

Meanwhile, prepare the pastry cream. In a bowl, combine the eggs, vanilla sugar, granulated sugar, and flour, then whisk until smooth. Gradually add the milk while whisking continuously. Transfer the mixture to a saucepan and cook over low heat, stirring constantly until it thickens. Once ready, remove from the heat, cover with plastic wrap touching the surface, and let cool.

Preheat the oven to 180°C. Take the dough out of the fridge and roll it out on a lightly floured surface. Line a large tart pan, pressing firmly on the edges. Prick the bottom with a fork and bake for about 15 to 20 minutes, until golden brown. Let it cool completely before filling.

Once the dough has cooled, spread the pastry cream evenly over the surface. Wash and hull the strawberries, then slice them thinly. Arrange them neatly on the cream in a harmonious pattern. For a glossy finish, lightly brush the strawberries with some warmed strawberry jam. Refrigerate before serving.
