Homemade tartlet shells are blind baked and filled with a delicious vanilla flavoured pastry cream made from scratch. The tartlets are then topped with juicy raspberries and strawberries glazed with a strawberry syrup.We also road test an alternative recipe: raspberry butter cream filling created by French pastry chef Pierre HermINGREDIENTS:Yields 6 to 8 tartlets depending on size (or one large tart)For the crme patissiere: 350 ml whole milk (full cream milk) 4 egg yolks 30 grams corn flour 80 grams granulated sugar 30 grams plain butter 1 fresh vanilla pod or 1 tablespoon of vanilla essence.RASPBERRY BUTTER CREAM: 300 grams fresh strawberries 60 grams caster sugar (fine granulated sugar) 130 grams plain butter A few mint leaves to decorateNote for the butter cream: I found that keeping the sugary juice naturally produced by the strawberries worked well. When pressing the strawberry through a sieve collect the juice in a separate container and add to the butter little bit at a time. When you get a cream like consistency you have enough strawberry juice.SHORTCRUST PASTRY: 190 grams plain butter cut in small pieces (must be at room temperature) 1 small teaspoon of salt 1 tablespoon granulated sugar (optional) 50 ml whole milk 250 grams plain flour (all-purpose flour)I found this shortcrust a bit fragile so I also included a recipe below for an alternative shortcrust using egg and water. I found this recipe easier to work with.https://youtu.be/gjtxrY0jTaAFor summer fruits this is up to you but always best to use whats in season if you can (around 500 grams is needed) Strawberries RaspberriesGLAZING: Raspberry or strawberry jam 2 tablespoons 3 tablespoons of waterAdd the jam and water in a small pan then bring to boiling point before turning the heat off. Use the syrup to coat the fruits using pastry brush. IF YOU LIKE WATCHING MY VIDEOS PLEASE SUPPORT MY CHANNEL!!!
