The crust to the tart is made with an eggless tart dough, the recipe for which is on my website and the filling is a no cook, super easy, toss and bake one! You need to try this one.

How to make it:

- To make tart pie filling, add the diced strawberries into a big bowl, followed by the sugar and the cornflour give a good mix till all of these are well combined.
- Next, squeeze in 1 tsp of lemon juice along with the vanilla. Your tart filling is ready! Leave it to rest for 5 to 10 minutes.
To proceed:
- Preheat your oven to 200º C.
- Grease your baking tray with some butter so that the tart can come off easily later.
- Roll off half the dough into a 6 to 8 inch circle (depending on the size of your baking dish) with the width of ¾ of an inch. Place it into the baking dish.
- Add the filling into the dough lined baking dish.
- You can use the other half of the dough to cut out shapes or stripes to place on top of the tart.
- Now we are going to brush some egg wash on the tart dough. To make the egg wash, simply add 2 tbsp of water to an egg.
- Bake your tart at 180º C for 1 hour and 10 minutes.
