The classic homemade tart, a simple spring tart perfect for breakfast and afternoon snacks with the family, prepared with my new purchase, a square mold from Decora, 8 x 8 inches with a removable bottom.
I made only one mistake: cutting slices of strawberries too thin, so if you make it at home, just cut each strawberry in half for a more intense flavor!

FOR THE PREPARATION OF THE SPRING TART RECIPE
In a bowl or stand mixer, place the flour, sugar, and after a preliminary mix, add the butter at room temperature.
With the tips of your fingers, rub the dry ingredients with the fat and when sandy, also add the whole egg.
Make a well-mixed dough that rests in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes after being placed in a food bag.
Meanwhile, prepare the custard by mixing the yolks with the sugar and then with the flour or other chosen starch.
Add the vanilla/lemon aromas and lastly the milk.
Pour everything into a saucepan and bring to a boil, continuing to simmer gently for about 4/5 minutes.
Cover with plastic wrap in contact and let cool.
Personally, I prepared both the cream and the pastry a day in advance!
At the time of baking, roll out the pastry dough, prick the bottom, and using the piping bag, completely cover with the cream… which was hard as a rock as seen in the photo!!!!!!!!!!!
I made small flowers from the leftover pastry, which I then placed in the center of the strawberry flowers dusted with powdered sugar!
I try to level it well and proceed to arrange the strawberry slices.
I wash the fruit, remove the stem, and make many slices, which I try to arrange nicely… honestly, I hoped for better sob sob!
I bake the spring tart at 356°F, and on the side on a baking sheet, even a small parchment paper with the pastry flowers that I will use later as decoration.
I let it cook for about 30/35 minutes or depending on your home oven, remove from oven, and let cool completely.
I add the sugared pastry cookies and we are ready to taste this very simple spring tart!
Bon appétit! Annalisa
