ingredients
-
Sweet Pastry Dough
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 3 tablespoons sugar
- 1⁄2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1⁄4 teaspoon salt
- 3 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into 6 pieces
- 1 egg
- 1 tablespoon cold water
-
Pastry Cream
- 4 tablespoons sugar, divided
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 eggs

- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
- 1 1⁄2 1 1/2 pints strawberries or 1 1/2 pints a combination fruit
- 2 tablespoons confectioners' sugar
directions
- To prepare the pastry dough, place flour, sugar, baking powder and salt in a food processor; pulse to combine. Add butter; pulse to combine. Add egg and water; pulse until dough forms a ball. Shape into a disc; wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate several hours to overnight. (Refrigeration makes dough easier to roll, but is not necessary.)
- Preheat the oven to 350°F On lightly floured surface, knead dough lightly to soften. Roll into a 12-inch circle; press on bottom and sides of a 10-inch tart pan with removable bottom. Prick with fork. Bake 15 minutes or until light golden. Cool on rack.
- To prepare the pastry cream, combine 2 tablespoons sugar and flour in a medium bowl. Add eggs, one at a time, whisking after each addition. Combine milk and remaining 2 tablespoons sugar in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil over low heat. Whisk about one-third of the milk into egg mixture. Gradually whisk egg mixture into remaining milk in saucepan. Whisk and cook over low heat until mixture comes to a boil. Boil 20 seconds, whisking constantly. Remove from heat and whisk in vanilla and butter. Pour into a bowl; press plastic wrap directly on surface. Refrigerate until cold.
- Stir pastry cream to lighten; spread in tart shell, cover with berries and sift confectioners’ sugar over top.
