Ingredients
- 2-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup cold unsalted butter, cubed
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
- 1/2 cup ice water
- FILLING:
- 1 quart fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
- 1-1/2 teaspoons grated lemon zest
- 1 large egg, lightly beaten
- Coarse sugar
Directions
- In a large bowl, mix flour, sugar and salt; cut in butter until crumbly. Stir in basil. Gradually add ice water, tossing with a fork until dough holds together when pressed. Shape into a disk; wrap and refrigerate 1 hour or overnight.
- Preheat oven to 375°. In a large bowl, combine strawberries, sugar, cornstarch, basil and lemon zest.
- Divide dough into 10 equal pieces. Working with one piece of dough at a time, on a lightly floured surface, roll dough to a 1/8-in.-thick circle; transfer to parchment-lined baking sheet. Using a slotted spoon place 1/3 cup filling over crust to within 1/2-in. of edge. Fold edge over filling, pleating as you go and leaving a 2-in. opening in the center. Brush folded crust with egg; sprinkle with sugar. Repeat with remaining dough and filling.
- Bake until crust is golden and filling is bubbly, 30-35 minutes. Transfer tarts to wire racks to cool.
