1

Prepare the tart crust

Start by combining the flour, sugar, and salt in a large bowl. Cut the cold butter into small cubes and add it to the bowl. Use your fingertips to gently incorporate the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Drizzle cold water into the bowl, one tablespoon at a time, and mix until the dough comes together. Shape the dough into a disk, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

2

Roll out the crust and bake

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Take the chilled dough out of the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes to soften slightly. Dust a clean surface with flour and roll out the dough into a circle, about ⅛-inch thick. Carefully transfer the dough to a tart pan, pressing it into the bottom and up the sides. Trim any excess dough. Prick the bottom of the crust with a fork. Place a sheet of parchment paper over the crust and fill it with pie weights or dried beans. Bake for 15 minutes, then remove the parchment paper and weights. Bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown. Let it cool completely.

3

Make the strawberry filling

In a medium saucepan, combine strawberries, sugar, lemon juice, and cornstarch. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly. Pour the strawberry filling into the cooled tart crust, spreading it evenly.

4

Arrange the fresh strawberries

Wash and dry fresh strawberries, then cut off the stems. Arrange the strawberries on top of the strawberry filling, gently pressing them into the filling. You can create a beautiful pattern or simply scatter them randomly – the choice is yours!

5

Make it fancy!

To take your strawberry tart to the next level of fanciness, you have a few options. You can brush the strawberries with melted apricot jam to give them a glossy sheen. Or, sprinkle some powdered sugar on top for an extra touch of sweetness. Finally, you can whip some cream and serve it alongside the tart for some extra indulgence.

Once you're satisfied with the level of fanciness, it's time to dig in! Slice the strawberry tart into beautiful wedges and serve. Enjoy the tangy, juicy strawberries, buttery crust, and the burst of flavors in every bite. Don't forget to share with your loved ones, if you can bear to part with it!
