Ingredients:
- 2.5 cups (315g) All-purpose flour
- 1 cup (225g) Unsalted butter, extremely cold and cubed
- 1 tsp Granulated sugar
- 1 tsp Fine sea salt
- 7 tbsp (105ml) Ice water
- 0.75 cup (200g) Strawberry preserves
- 1 tbsp (8g) Cornstarch
- 1 tsp Water
- 0.5 tsp Lemon juice
- 0.25 cup (38g) Fresh strawberries, finely diced
- 1 cup (120g) Powdered sugar
- 2 tbsp (30ml) Heavy cream
- 1 tsp Rainbow sprinkles
Instructions:
- Combine the flour, sugar, and salt in your bowl.
- Use your pastry cutter to work the cold butter into the flour until the mixture looks like coarse crumbs with some pea sized chunks.
- Add ice water one tablespoon at a time, mixing with a spatula until the dough just barely holds together when squeezed.
- Divide the dough into two discs, wrap in plastic, and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
- Combine preserves, diced strawberries, cornstarch, water, and lemon juice in a pan; simmer for 5 minutes until thick and glossy. Let it cool completely.
- Roll one disc into a large rectangle about 1/8 inch thick. Cut into eight 3x4-inch rectangles. Repeat with the second disc.
- Place a tablespoon of filling in the center of 8 rectangles. Top with the remaining rectangles and crimp the edges firmly with a fork to seal.
- Use a toothpick to poke a few holes in the top of each tart.
- Place on a parchment lined sheet and bake at 375°F until the edges are golden and the pastry feels firm.
- Whisk powdered sugar and heavy cream until smooth. Spread over cooled tarts and immediately top with sprinkles before the glaze sets.
