2.Dust a surface with flour and roll out the pastry to a 26cm circle (or 3cm bigger than your tin). Line a 23cm fluted tart tin with the pastry, leaving an overhang. Prick the base with a fork to stop any air bubbles forming. Chill for 30 mins.

4.Make custard cream by whipping the cream and gently folding it into the custard.

5. Beat the strawberry jam to loosen it, then spread over the bottom of the pastry case. Spread the custard cream on top of the jam. Arrange the strawberries on top.
