  Make a sweet pastry tart shell using your favourite recipe, then set aside to cool.  Make some crème patissiere as follows:  
whisk together 4 egg yolks, 100 g caster sugar and 4 Tbs cornflour until light and creamy.  Heat 500 ml whole milk 
together with a couple of tsp vanilla extract until almost boiling, then pour this into the beaten eggs, whisking to 
combine well.  Tip it all back into the pan and cook over a gently heat, stirring all the while, until it thickens.  
Remove from the heat and stir in 40 g butter.  Let the custard cool then pour into the pastry shell.  Cover with 
hulled strawberries.  In a sauce pan, heat a couple of Tbs strawberry jam with a Tbs water until you have a syrup, 
then brush this over the strawberries.  Chill for a couple of hours before serving.
