STRAWBERRY TARTS WITH CREAM
Double trouble! There are two kinds of strawberries in this tart recipe-three pints of fresh strawberries and three cups of strawberry preserves. Chef Tony Esnault's grandmother made this tart every summer for his birthday. "It's a tradition the whole family is happy to continue," he says.

Steps:
- Cream butter and 1 cup sugar until pale and fluffy. Add yolks, and beat until just incorporated. Add flour and salt, and beat until just incorporated. Shape dough into 2 disks, wrap each in plastic, and refrigerate at least 1 hour (or up to 3 days).
- Roll out each disk into an 11-inch round on a lightly floured surface. Fit each round into the bottoms and up the sides of a 9-inch fluted tart pan with removable bottom. Prick the bottoms of dough with a fork, and refrigerate until firm, about 1 hour.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Brush crusts with egg wash. Bake, pressing down crusts if they start to bubble, until golden brown, about 20 minutes. Let cool completely, and remove from pans.
- Trim strawberries to about the same height. Heat preserves in a small saucepan over medium-low heat until loose. Strain through a fine sieve. You will have about 1 cup of solids. Spread 1/2 cup solids over bottom of each tart. Arrange strawberries in a single layer over the top, placing cut sides down. Brush strawberries with just enough warm glaze to make berries shiny. Dust with confectioners' sugar if desired.
- Beat cream with remaining 2 tablespoons sugar just until thickened. Cut each tart into quarters, and serve slices topped with whipped cream.

Tips:
- For a flaky crust, use a combination of butter and shortening. Butter provides flavor, while shortening helps to keep the crust crisp.
- Handle the dough as little as possible. Overworking the dough will make it tough.
- Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before rolling it out. This will help to prevent the dough from shrinking in the oven.
- Bake the crust at a high temperature until it is golden brown. This will help to prevent the crust from becoming soggy.
- Allow the crust to cool completely before filling it. This will help to prevent the filling from making the crust soggy.
- Use fresh strawberries for the filling. This will give the tarts the best flavor.
- Make sure the strawberries are hulled and sliced before adding them to the filling.
- Bring the filling to a boil over medium heat, then reduce heat to low and simmer for 10 minutes. This will help to thicken the filling.
- Allow the filling to cool completely before spooning it into the tart shells.
- Top the tarts with whipped cream or ice cream just before serving.
