Instructions

To make the Tart Shell

  • Take a bowl and mix flour and sugar together.
  • Add the cold butter cut in small cubes.
  • Now, break the butter using the finger tips while mixing it with the flour mix. Keep doing this till there are no bigger lumps of butter left.
  • Now, add water, one tablespoon at a time and bring everything together into a dough. Once you see everything coming together into a big lump, stop kneading. Do not over mix.
  • Cover the bowl with clingwrap sheet and refrigerate for 20 mins for it to rest.
  • When you are ready to bake, pre-heat the oven at 200°C.
  • Roll the dough gently on a floured surface into a circular disc of quarter-inch thickness.
  • Roll it over the rolling pin and gently transfer it on your tart pan.
  • Line your tart pan and prick the base and the inside edges using a fork. Freeze it once again for 15 minutes. Before baking brush some milk over the tart shell.
  • Pop the tart pan in your oven and bake it at 200c for 5 minutes and bring down the temp to 180c and bake it for 15 minutes till the edge shrinks and turns golden. The base would also appear to be dry.
    Bursh a thin layer of jam on the warm tart shell and bake it for a minute or so to allow it to dry. This would ensure that the tart filling doesn't make the shell bottom soggy
  • Allow it to cool on a wire rack and then use it for your pie or tart recipe.

To make the Custard FIlling

  • Follow the instruction on the back of the pack. Usually it is to heat the milk and cream with sugar, take a small cup of it and mix the Custard Powder in it and then add it back. Stir it continuously till it thickens.
  • Take it off the heat and cover the custard with a cling wrap with it touching the surface of it so that it doesnt make a film on the top.
  • Once it cools down completely, we are ready to assemble the dessert.

To assemble the Strawberry Tart

  • Chop the head off of the Strawberries. Now slice them breadthwise.
  • Take your Tart shell and fill it with the prepared Custard filling. Smoothen the top of it.
  • Now take the Strawberry slices and arrange them around the circumference of the tart. Decorate the top of the tart in the same manner. Otherwise, you can be as creative as you like.
  • Serve chilled.
