In a separate bowl, gently beat the eggs and add the milk and oil. Mix well.

To make the bread:

Tips
Diversification: You can add dried herbs such as oregano or rosemary to the batter to enhance the flavor.
Gluten-free version: If you want to make a gluten-free version, replace wheat flour with rice flour or more corn flour and adjust the amount of liquid as needed.

How to make it
Prepare the dough:
In a food processor (or with two forks) combine flour, salt, and sugar.
Add chunks of cold butter and process until the mixture is fine breadcrumbs.
In a small bowl, combine egg yolks with cold water and rum. Gradually add the mixture to the dough and continue processing until the dough is clumpy.
Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for 1 hour (or 30 minutes in the freezer).
Knead into tart slices:
Preheat oven to 350 ° F (180 °C).
Once the dough has cooled, cut it into equal-sized squares and then knead separately into balls.
Place the balls of dough in the tart crust pan and press your fingers against the bottom and sides of the pan.
Prick the bottom and edges with a fork to prevent puffing during baking.
Bake the pie for 15-20 minutes, until golden brown. Remove from oven and let cool.
Prepare the lemon cream:
Combine condensed milk, evaporated milk, sugar, salt and cornstarch.
Pour the mixture into a saucepan over medium heat, stirring constantly until thick.
Remove from heat when thick and add lemon zest, herbs and butter. Let sit to cool.
Assembly:
Once the tart crust and lemon cream have cooled, place a large spoonful of cream on top of each tart crust.
Garnish with strawberries and add sequins or jam if desired for a special touch of flavor.
Serve immediately and garnish with whipped cream if preferred.
Enjoy your delicious strawberry tart! 🍓
