Preparation of the Crust

Creating the Filling

  2. Whisk the eggs with sugar until frothy, fold in flour, spread onto a baking sheet, sprinkle with strawberry pieces, and bake until set.
  3. Cook strawberries with sugar and pectin until boiling to create a jam-like filling.
Finishing Touches

  2. Mix in vanilla and fold in whipped cream, then pipe onto tartlets and top with half strawberries.
  3. Arrange tartlets on a platter and serve with sweet tea.

Notes

Make sure your butter is soft for the crust. Use fresh strawberries for best flavor. A sprinkle of powdered sugar before serving adds an elegant touch.
