A delightful Strawberry Glaze Tart featuring a buttery shortcrust pastry filled with sweet strawberries and a luscious glaze.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pre-made shortcrust pastry dough (thawed if frozen)
- 2 cups fresh strawberries (hulled and sliced)
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice or zest (preferably fresh)
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch (optional, for thickening)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Roll out the shortcrust pastry dough on a lightly floured surface until it fits your 8-inch tart pan.
- Transfer the rolled-out dough into the pan, trimming any excess edges.

- Add the sliced strawberries to the saucepan and cook for roughly 5 minutes.
- Remove from heat and pour the strawberry mixture into the baked tart shell.

- Garnish with fresh mint or additional lemon zest before serving.
