Ingredients
  

For the tarts
  • 1 sheet puff pastry Thawed
  • 1 cup strawberries, sliced
  • 1/4 cup sugar Adjust according to taste
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 egg for egg wash
  • to taste tablespoon powdered sugar For dusting before serving

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the sliced strawberries, sugar, cornstarch, and vanilla extract. Toss gently to ensure the strawberries are well-coated.
  3. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the puff pastry sheet until it is about 1/8 inch thick. Cut it into rectangles, about 4 inches by 6 inches.
  4. Place the pastry rectangles on your prepared baking sheet. Using a knife, score a border about 1/2 inch from the edge of each rectangle.
  5. Spoon the strawberry mixture into the center of each rectangle, making sure not to overfill them.
  6. Beat the egg in a small bowl and brush it along the edges of the pastry.
  7. Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the pastry is golden and crispy.
  8. Let the tarts cool for a few minutes before dusting with powdered sugar. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Notes

For a gluten-free option, try using almond flour pastry. Monitor closely while baking to avoid burning. Avoid overfilling to prevent soggy pastry. Store in an airtight container for 2-3 days or freeze unbaked tarts for up to a month.
