Instructions
Prepare the Oven
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Pro tip: Ensure the oven is fully preheated for even baking.
Prepare the Puff Pastry
Roll out the puff pastry on a lightly floured surface to fit a 9-inch tart pan. Transfer the pastry to the pan and trim any excess.
Pro tip: Use a fork to prick the base of the pastry to prevent it from puffing up.
Make the Strawberry Filling
In a bowl, combine sliced strawberries, sugar, cornstarch, and lemon juice. Stir until the strawberries are well-coated.
Pro tip: Macerating helps to draw out the strawberries' natural juices.
Assemble the Tart
Spread the strawberry mixture evenly over the pastry in the tart pan.
Pro tip: Ensure the strawberries are evenly distributed for consistent baking.
Bake the Tart
Place the tart in the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes or until the pastry is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
Pro tip: Rotate the tart halfway through baking for even colour.
Cool and Serve
Allow the tart to cool for at least 15 minutes before slicing and serving.
Pro tip: Cooling helps the filling to set, making it easier to slice.
Tips & Tricks
- Ensure the puff pastry is fully thawed before use.
- Use ripe strawberries for the best flavour.
- Let the tart cool before serving to allow the filling to set.
