GERMAN STRAWBERRY TART / ERDBEER TORTENBODEN
Found on Tasty-german-reciipe.com to use during ZWT 6 and during our bumper crop of home-grown strawberries. This is a spongcake sort of dish underneath with strawberries and glaze on top. I envision a bit of whipped cream for to topping too, just to make it even more decadent. Because this dessert really spolights the strawberries, I recommend only making this when strawneeries are in season. And if you can find a friendly neighbor with a strawberry patch - more's the better! You can do this with small whole berries too for a breathtaking presentation.

Steps:
- Grease an 8 inch (20cm) raised-based flan tin. Sprinkle over 2 tsp sugar and tilt to coat evenly. Add 1 level tsp flour and coat similarly, knocking out any excess.
- Place the eggs and remaining sugar in a deep bowl and whisk until the mixture is very thick. Sift the flour over the surface of the mixture. Fold in gently with a metal spoon, then turn into the prepared tin and tilt to level the surface.
- Place on a baking sheet and bake in the oven at 180 degrees C for 20-25 minutes until the sponge springs back when pressed lightly. Allow to cool on a wire rack.
- Arrange the sliced fruit in the flan case. Put the strawberry jam and 1 tbsp water in a small saucepan and heat gently together until liquid. Cool a little then brush over the fruit.

Tips:

- If the dough is too dry, add a little bit of ice water until it comes together.
- Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface to prevent it from sticking.
- Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking to prevent it from shrinking.
- Bake the crust until it is golden brown and firm to the touch.
- Let the crust cool completely before filling it.
- Use fresh, ripe strawberries for the filling.
- Toss the strawberries with sugar and lemon juice to macerate them and release their juices.
- Spread the strawberry filling evenly over the cooled crust.
- Chill the tart for at least 2 hours before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
