Liverpool Tart with Strawberry and Cream Recipe

Ingredients with Measurements:
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, chilled and cut into small pieces
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 egg yolk
- 1/4 cup milk

- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar

Special equipment needed:

Step-by-step instructions:

1. Preheat the oven to 375°F.

2. In a large bowl, mix together the flour and sugar. Add the butter and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work it into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.

3. In a small bowl, whisk together the egg yolk and milk. Add to the flour mixture and stir until a dough forms.

4. Roll out the dough on a floured surface and transfer to the tart pan. Press the dough into the bottom and up the sides of the pan. Trim any excess dough.

5. Spread the strawberry jam evenly over the bottom of the crust.

6. Bake the tart for 25-30 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown. Let cool completely.

7. In a large bowl, beat the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form.

8. Spread the whipped cream over the cooled tart.

9. Top with sliced fresh strawberries.
