Ingredients
  

Pastry Crust
  • Butter chilled and cubed
  • All-purpose flour
  • Ice water
Strawberry Filling
  • Fresh strawberries hulled and sliced
  • 2 tablespoons Sugar
  • 1 tablespoon Cornstarch

Equipment

  • 1 food processor
  • 1 Tart pans
  • 1 Oven

Method
 

  1. Make the pastry crust: In a food processor, pulse the chilled butter and flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time, and pulse until the dough just begins to hold together. Form the dough into a disc, wrap in plastic, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  2. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  3. Roll out the chilled dough and cut into circles to fit individual tart pans. Press the dough into the pans, trimming any excess.
  4. In a bowl, toss the sliced strawberries with sugar and cornstarch until evenly coated.
  5. Divide the strawberry mixture evenly among the prepared tart shells.
  6. Bake the tartlets for 18-20 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
  7. Allow the tartlets to cool completely before serving.

Notes

Feel free to adjust the recipe to your taste, such as adding a touch of lemon zest or a drizzle of balsamic glaze to enhance the flavors.
