4. Adorable Strawberry Tarts
Ingredients for dough:

Mix 2 cups of strawberries with ¼ cup of sugar and let it sit for 15 minutes.
Preheat oven to 375 F. Roll out the dough to about ⅛’’ thick. Cut out 6 rounds that are larger than your molds (you can use a glass for that). Line each buttered mold with the dough and bake in the oven for about 10 minutes. Trim out the edges and fill with the strawberry mixture. Bake for another 20-25 minutes. Yum!

- 1 whole lemon (seeded and chopped)
