Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, cold and diced
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 egg yolk
- 2 tablespoons ice water
- 1 cup milk
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 2 egg yolks
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
Instructions
- In a bowl, mix flour, butter, and sugar until it resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in the egg yolk and ice water until the dough forms.
- Roll out and shape the dough into tartlet pans. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for about 10-12 minutes until golden.

Notes
Chilling the dough before rolling out can improve the texture of the crust. For added flavor, consider mixing in citrus zest into the pastry cream.
