Strawberry tart with mascarpone.
My dad (@jfayel on Twitter) bought a huge box of strawberries so me and my mum ( @nanouk on Twitter) decided to make a strawberry tart using mascarpone as the filling.
My mum made the shortcrust pastry:
she mixed 150g flour, 80g soft butter, 25g caster sugar, 1 egg yolk and some cold water until she obtained a dough. She then left the dough in the fridge for an hour or so.
she rolled the dough in a pastry case and baked it (covered with dried beans) in the oven at 200 degrees for 15 minutes. The pastry was left to cool down.
I made the filling:
I separated an egg, put the yolk in a bowl with 1 tbsp caster sugar and beat for a few seconds until thoroughly mixed. I beat in 250g mascarpone until I had a custard-coloured cream. With a whisk, I beat the egg white until it stood stiff, then I folded it into the creamed mascarpone.
I then spooned the mascarpone into the shortcrust pastry, spreading it smoothly right out to the edges. Finally I arranged the sliced strawberries on top of the mascarpone. The finished tart was kept cool before serving.

Now that's what I call family team working in action ;)
