Method

Fill the pastry case with the cream mixture and top with halved strawberries.

Stir the mixture over low heat for 5 minutes until thickened, then chill.

Roll out the pastry to 30cm and line a greased pastry ring, allowing for shrinkage.

Glaze the strawberries with warm apricot jam and serve with clotted cream.

Rest the pastry in the fridge before baking.

Boil the cream and whisk it into the egg mixture with the vanilla.

Whip egg yolks and caster sugar, then slowly fold in the flour.

Blind bake the pastry with baking beans at 170°C until golden brown then cool.
