🔥 Step 5: Bake to perfection

Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F).

Bake for 18–25 minutes, or until:

• The pastry is puffed and golden
• The edges are crisp
• The berries are soft and slightly juicy

You’ll know it’s ready when your kitchen smells like warm fruit and butter.

❄️ Step 6: Let it cool slightly

Allow the tart to cool for about 10–15 minutes.

This helps:

• The fruit juices settle
• The pastry crisp up properly
• Slicing become easier

💝 Step 7: Serve beautifully

You can serve it:

• Warm with vanilla ice cream
• With whipped cream
• Or simply as is, dusted with powdered sugar

For Mother’s Day, you can add:

• A drizzle of extra honey
• Fresh mint leaves
• Or a heart-shaped cutout decoration on top
