Strawberry Tart

To prepare the crust, place flour, salt and sugar in a food processor and pulse to mix. Add butter and process until the mixture resembles coarse meal. While the machine is running, pour in iced water slowly. When it’s ready, the dough should hold together when pinched. Add a little more water if necessary.

Gather dough into a dish. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for about 30 minutes to chill.

Remove the dough from the fridge. Roll it on a floured surface, until 3mm thick. Place the pastry onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Keep it in refrigerator while preparing the filling.

Combine berries, lemon zest, sugar and flour in a large bowl. Remove the pastry from the refrigerator. Place the filling in the middle of the pastry, leaving about 1.5-inch border around the edges. Fold up and seal the pastry edges, leaving the center open (see photo).

Preheat oven to 400F. Place baking sheet on the center rack. Bake for 30 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the juice is bubbling. Remove from oven and serve with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
