Instructions

  • Cut your pastry sheet into six equal rectangles and score a line on each one centimetre from the outside to form an edge. Prick the centre of the pastry squares with a fork to stop the pastry rising in the centre. Put the tart shells on two lined baking sheets.

  • Bake the tart cases in a preheated oven at 180°C / 350°F for 15-20 minutes until lightly golden brown and fully crisp. Allow to cool.
  • Add one more teaspoon of strawberry jam in the centre of each tart, spread it evenly then top with thinly sliced strawberries. Warm 6 more teaspoons of jam and drizzle over the tarts to glaze them and add shine.
