🍰 Desserts

Pastry shells of vanilla cream topped in fruit mosaic, the tea-party tray. Flaky, buttery pastry around a filling that actually tastes of the season. Serve warm with cream, custard or a scoop of ice cream.

Prep 36 min Cook 34 min Serves 9 Medium

Ingredients

  • Butter1/2 cup, cold
  • Heavy Cream1/4 cup
  • Salt1/2 tsp
  • All-Purpose Flour2 cups
  • Sugar2 tbsp
  • Blueberries1 cup, chopped
  • Shortcrust Pastry1 cup, chopped
  • Strawberries2 cups, hulled and sliced

Instructions

  1. 1

    Work quickly with chilled butter so it stays in visible flakes through the dough.

  2. 2

    Cut the cold butter through the flour, drizzle in ice water, and gather the dough without kneading.

  3. 3

    Refrigerate the dough; cold dough rolls cleaner and bakes flakier.

  4. 4

    Fold the strawberries and shortcrust pastry through the dough until evenly distributed.

  5. 5

    Bake hot until the pastry is bronzed and crisp; a cooling spell keeps the filling from running.

Chef's tip

Weigh your flour if you can; cup measures can be off by twenty percent either way.
