Good morning and Happy mother's day to all of you :) I hope you treated your moms like a queen on their special day. Yesterday, I baked for mom a sweet  and rich strawberry tart and I thought it wouldl be wonderful to share the recipe with you, actually this tart can be a great gift for your guests, your family or even your darling. 

 So let's start step by step:
For the crust you will need these ingredients:
200g flour
100g cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
50g sugar
1 egg
1 vanilla sugar

1. Mix butter and sugar in a large bowl
2. Mix vanilla sugar and egg and then add to butter and sugar and mix well
3. Add flour to the mixture and mix until the dough is formed
4. put the dough in the fridge for at least 1 hour

For the filling  you will need these ingredients:

250g strawberry cut into pieces

For the custard you will need these ingredients: 

1/2 litre milk

4 eggs yolk

5 Tbsp sugar

2Tbsp cornstarch

1 vanilla sugar

1. Heat the milk and vanilla sugar on meduim high heat
2. In a bowl, mix eggs yolk and sugar very well 
3. Add cornstarch to the mixture
4. Once the mixture is well mixed, pour the milk on the mixture and mix
5. Transfer the mixture in a saucepan and cook over meduim heat for 5 minutes, stir constantly and make sure that the cream does not stick to the bottom of the pan.

It's time now to transfer the dough to a tart pan and bake it for 20-25 minutes. After baking it, let it cool down then spread the crusted evenly in the buttom of baked crust. Arrange strawberry pieces ,starting from outside edge, on custard. In a saucepan heat one table spoon of jam (I used apricot jam) until liquefied, gently brush strawberries with jam.
