Ingredients:
- 1 sheet puff pastry, thawed
- 1 egg, beaten
- 1 tablespoon water
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 pint fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
- Whipped cream or vanilla ice cream, for serving (optional)
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F.
2. Lay the sheet of puff pastry on a lightly floured surface and roll it out slightly. Cut the pastry into four equal squares and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
3. In a small bowl, beat the egg and water together to make an egg wash. Brush the egg wash onto the edges of each pastry square.
4. In another small bowl, whisk together the sugar and cornstarch. Add the vanilla extract and stir to combine.
5. Place the sliced strawberries in a medium bowl and sprinkle the sugar mixture over the top. Toss the strawberries gently to coat them in the sugar mixture.
6. Divide the strawberries evenly among the pastry squares, placing them in the center of each square. Fold the edges of the pastry up and over the strawberries, pleating the corners together to create a rustic tart shape.
7. Brush the edges of the pastry with the remaining egg wash.
8. Bake the tarts for 20-25 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and puffed up. Allow the tarts to cool for a few minutes before serving.
9. Serve the tarts warm or at room temperature, topped with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream if desired.
Additional Tips:
- Make sure your puff pastry is thawed before you begin making the tarts. You can thaw it in the refrigerator overnight or at room temperature for about 30 minutes.
- If you don't have fresh strawberries, you can use frozen ones instead. Just make sure to thaw them and drain off any excess liquid before using them in the recipe.
- Don't overfill the tarts with strawberries, or they may burst open during baking.
- If you have leftover tarts, you can store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two days. Reheat them in the oven or microwave before serving.
