Strawberry tart
Summer is the perfect time to eat strawberries. I don’t have an idea to write historical facts about the strawberry tart, but strawberries are grown in culture since the 8th century in France and England. In ancient Rome wild strawberries were used for medical purposes. European kings let strawberries grow in their garden gardens as decorative plants. In today’s strawberry tart, I used again the English biscuit, which I used for making Charlotte cake. This tart is fast to prepare and easy to assemble. It can be a perfect addition to celebrate Estonian midsummer.
