Strawberry Custard Tarts

I used unsweetened pastry base here, for the filling I whipped up a batch of pastry cream flavoured with vanilla seeds, and of course, the strawberries are the crowning glory. For a professional-looking finish, I added a glaze of strawberry jam.

PASTRY:
250g (2 cups) plain (all purpose) flour
180g (3/4 cup plus 1 tbs) cold butter
1 egg yolk
2 tbs of chilled water
