Ingredients

3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup cornstarch
1/4 cup butter
1/3 cup powdered sugar
1 unit egg whites (from a small egg)
12 oz strawberries (cleaned)
2 tbsp strawberry jam
as needed butter (to grease the pan)
as needed flour (to flour the pan)
1/3 cup sugar
1/2 lemon juice (juice of half a lemon)

Steps

On a work surface, place the flour in a mound, add the softened butter cut into pieces and begin to mix. Now add the sugar, the egg whites and knead well. You should obtain a soft, malleable dough that is easy to roll out.
Wrap it in cling film and put it in the fridge for about half an hour.
Roll out the dough with a rolling pin to a thickness of about 1/4 inch, use two chopsticks along the edges to help maintain even thickness. Keep a piece of dough aside for later use. Turn a 8-inch diameter pan upside down on the rolled-out dough and with a pastry cutter, cut a circle about 1 inch larger than the pan.
Now grease and flour the pan and cover it with the rolled-out puff pastry.
Wash the strawberries, remove the hulls, cut them into halves or quarters depending on size and let them marinate in a saucepan with the sugar and lemon for about half an hour. Poke the base with a fork, then spread the bottom with jam.
Then add the previously marinated strawberries on top.
With the remaining dough, make strips and a cord. Decorate the strips using a meat mallet (or leave them plain).
Place the strips over the strawberries in a lattice pattern, and decorate the tart’s edge with the cord. Use a fork to make a pattern on the tart’s edge. Bake at 350°F for about 40 minutes.
