Pastry

100g butter
60g icing sugar
1 egg
1 egg yolk

Rub the flour, butter and sugar together until the mixture resembles fine crumbs ( do this in a food processor if you wish). Mix the egg and the yolk and add to make a dough.

Wrap in cling and chill for an hour.

Strawberry jam

Lightly butter 2 tartlet tins and set oven to 180oc.
Roll the pastry out until thin and cut out rounds to fit in the hole.
Chop half the rhubarb and mix with an equal amount of jam. Spoon into the pastry and bake for 15 minutes. Cool and remove from tins.
Serve with a dollop of the cream.
Coconut custard cream
225 ml milk
2 egg yolks
75 g caster sugar
10 g plain flour, sieved
