SWEET TART CRUST RECIPE

Number Of Ingredients 6
Steps:
- Process flour, sugar, and salt in a food processor for a few seconds until combined. If you don't have a food processor, you can do this by using a pastry cutter. Add butter and pulse until mixture becomes crumbly and resembles coarse meal, about 15 pulses. Add egg and vanilla extract and keep pulsing until the dough is no longer dry and starts to clump together, about 10-15 seconds. Do not process to the point that a large ball of dough is formed; rather the dough should be quite crumbly with large clumps. Another way to check if it's done is to take a piece of dough and press it between your thumbs - the dough should stick without feeling dry or crumbly.
- Turn dough to a lightly floured surface and form into a ball. It should come together easily without being sticky. Flatten ball slightly with your hands to form a thick disc. Wrap with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
- If you don't want to use the dough right away, you can refrigerate it for up to 3 days, or freeze it for up to a month and then thaw overnight in the fridge.
- To roll out the dough: Take dough out of the fridge and let it sit on the counter for a few minutes to soften slightly for easy rolling. On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough out into an 11-inch circle, then place gently into a 9-inch tart pan (preferably with a removable bottom); you can do this by flouring a rolling pan and rolling the dough loosely around it, then unrolling it into the pan. Brush away any excess flour on the surface. With a sharp knife, trim the edges of the pastry to fit the tart pan. Cover pan with plastic wrap and place in the freezer until firm, about 30 minutes. Frozen dough is less prone to shrinking while baking.
- To bake the crust: Preheat oven to 375F/190C and place rack in the center.
- Press parchment paper or aluminum foil tightly against the crust, covering the edges to prevent them from burning. Fill with pie weights/dried beans/uncooked rice, making sure they're fully distributed over the entire surface.
- Bake crust for 20 minutes, until foil no longer sticks to the dough. Transfer crust to a wire rack and remove weights and foil.
- To partially bake the crust: Bake for 5 minutes longer. You'll now need to proceed with your tart recipe, add the filling, and finish baking. According to your recipe, the crust should be used either while warm or after it's been left to cool on a wire rack.
- To fully bake the crust: Bake for about 10 minutes longer until golden brown and dry. Transfer to a wire rack and let cool completely.
SWEET TART CRUST
With buttery, crumbly, crispy, cookie-like texture, this is my favorite Sweet Tart Crust (Pastry Crust) recipe. It goes well with any sweet filling of your choice.

Steps:
- Gather all the ingredients. If possible, keep all ingredients chilled in the refrigerator until ready to start.
- Cut the butter into small cubes. Crack the egg into a small bowl.
- In a large bowl, stir together the flour, sugar, and salt.
- Add the butter to the flour mixture. Using a pastry cutter or 2 knives, cut the butter into flour mixture until the texture resembles coarse cornmeal, with butter pieces no larger than small peas.
- Add the egg and vanilla extract and mix with a fork just until the dough pulls together.
- Process all-purpose flour, sugar, and salt in a food processor for a few seconds until combined.
- Add the butter and pulse until mixture resembles coarse meal, about 15 pulses.
- Add the egg and vanilla extract and pulse until the dough forms clumps, about 15 seconds.
- Transfer the dough clumps to a lightly floured surface (I use this pastry mat) and form into a ball. If sticky, lightly sprinkle flour.
- Flatten the ball with your hands to form a thick disk. Wrap with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour (or 30 mins in the freezer). The dough must be completely chilled before being used. To store: If you don't use the dough right away, you can store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, or freeze it for up to 2 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator, then let sit at room temperature until easily rollable.
- Take the dough out from the refrigerator and let it sit on the counter for a few minutes to soften slightly for easy rolling. Meanwhile lightly butter a 9-inch (23 cm) fluted tart pan with a removable bottom.
- Lightly flour your working surface and place the dough on top. Using a rolling pin, roll out the dough into an 11-inch circle, with 1/8-inch (3 mm) thick. If the dough is too soft, put back into the refrigerator.
- Flour the rolling pin and roll the dough loosely around it, then unroll it into the tart pan.
- Evenly pat the dough onto the bottom and sides of the greased tart pan. Seal any cracks in the dough.
- Trim off excess dough with a sharp knife, or with the rolling pin by rolling over the tart pan. A good tip I learned from a Japanese cookbook (optional): Using your index finger, gently press the dough onto the side so the dough will peak out 2 mm from the pan. The dough tends to shrink while baking, so this helps to keep the height of the crust.
- With a fork, gently prick the dough several times. Cover the tart pan with plastic wrap and place in the freezer until firm, about 30 minutes. Freezing the dough before baking prevents it from shrinking.
- To prevent the crust from becoming soggy, I always like to blind bake the crust. Preheat the oven to 375ºF (190ºC) and place the rack in the center. For a convection oven, reduce cooking temperature by 25ºF (15ºC).
- When the oven is ready, tightly line the chilled crust with 2 layers of parchment paper, covering the edges to prevent them from burning. Fill the crust with pie weights (or dried beans, uncooked rice, pennies, etc). Make sure they are evenly distributed over the entire surface.
- Bake the crust for 20 minutes, until the foil no longer sticks to the dough. Transfer the crust to a wire rack and remove the pie weights and parchment paper.
- To partially bake the crust, continue to bake the crust for 5 minutes longer. Proceed with your tart recipe: add the filling and finish baking. Check your recipe to see if the crust should be used while warm or after it's been left to cool on a wire rack.
- To fully bake the crust, bake for 10 minutes longer or until it is dry and the bottom turns lightly golden. Remove the crust from the oven and place on a wire rack to cool.
- The baked crust can be stored at room temperature or refrigerator for 2 days or frozen for 2 months. When ready to serve, let it thaw overnight in the refrigerator, then let sit at room temperature before filling and decorating.

Keep chilled. Soften slightly at room temperature before rolling out.)
TART CRUST
This recipe for the buttery dough, known in French as pâte brisée, comes via the pastry chef Natasha Pickowicz. It makes enough for two 10-inch tarts; divide the dough into two equal-size balls, flatten into discs, wrap well in plastic wrap and keep in the freezer to defrost whenever you need it. It can be used for sweet or savory recipes, like this potato-and-radicchio tart.

Steps:
- Put the flour, sugar and salt into the bowl of a food processor, and pulse once or twice to mix. Add the butter, and pulse twice more, so it's still in very large pieces. Steadily pour the ice water into the machine while pulsing it as quickly as you can, until the butter is still visible in large smears and the dough is pushing up the sides of the bowl and looks like damp bread crumbs (you may not need to add all the water).
- Scrape the dough crumbs into a bowl, cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour. (The dough will continue to hydrate, but if it still feels powdery and dry, wet your fingertips and flick a little cold water onto the crumbs.) After 1 hour, divide the dough into two even balls, gently squashing each into a disc, and wrap each in plastic wrap. Put one in the fridge, to roll out for the potato-and-radicchio tart, and put the other in the freezer so that you have dough ready to go for another tart.
EASY SHORTBREAD TART CRUST (NO ROLL)
Looked and looked on Zaar for just the shortbread crust and found many delicious crusts, but just not the one I was looking for. Perhaps I didn't key in the right search, but I found this recipe on the web and it's just what I was looking for...simple.

SWEET TART CRUST
This recipe, my trusted go-to, turns out a cookielike crust - sweet, golden and more crisp than flaky. Typically French - it's a pâte sablée - I use the recipe for my whole lemon tart as well as for the less French bakewell tart. I make the dough in a food processor using very cold butter, and while it sounds like culinary heresy, I roll it out as soon as it's made. Sandwiched between parchment or wax paper, the dough is a cinch to roll at this point - just make sure to chill it before you bake it (better yet, freeze it once it's in the pan). I also like to partly bake the crust before I fill it, a step you can skip, but prebaking will give you a crisper bottom crust.

Steps:
- Put the flour, sugar and salt in a food processor, and pulse to blend. Scatter in the butter, and pulse about a dozen times, until the butter is cut in - you'll have pieces the size of oatmeal flakes and others the size of peas. Stir the yolk to break it up and add it in 3 additions, pulsing after each. Pulse until the dough has curds and clumps; it should hold together when you pinch it. Turn it out onto a counter, knead it into a compact ball and flatten it into a disk.
- Roll the dough into an 11-inch circle between layers of parchment (or wax) paper. If it's cold enough, fit it into a 9-to-9½-inch tart pan with a removable bottom, trimming the top even with the pan's edges; if it's not, chill it until you can work with it. Refrigerate the crust (in the pan) for at least 1 hour (or cover and freeze for up to 2 months).
- Heat the oven to 400. Place the pan on a baking sheet, and cover with a piece of buttered foil or parchment, pressing it lightly to cover the crust's bottom and sides; fill with rice.
- Bake for 20 minutes. Carefully remove the foil and rice. If you're going to bake the tart again with a filling, bake it uncovered for 5 minutes more. If you'll be using a no-bake filling, bake the uncovered crust for an additional 8 to 10 minutes. Cool for at least 30 minutes before filling.

Steps:
- Put flour and salt in bowl of food processor. Cut the butter and margarine into small bits and add to the flour. Process 10 seconds, or until mixture resembles coarse meal. Add the water little by little, processing as little as possible (10 to 15 seconds). Dough should just hold together in the bowl, but not be wet or sticky. Turn out onto plastic wrap, press into a ball, and chill at least 1 hour before using.
- To form tart or tartlet shells, use twice as many pans as projected number of tart or tartlets. Lightly butter or spray with vegetable oil the insides of half the pans.
- Roll half the pastry onto a lightly floured board to slightly less than 1/8-inch thick. Cut the pastry slightly larger than the pans, press into pans, and cut away excess with your thumb. Repeat process with rest of pastry. In the case of a large tart, cut the pastry large enough so that there will be a 1/2-inch overhang.
- Press the unbuttered pans on top of each of the pastry-filled pans. These act as weights and will prevent shrinkage and puffing while baking. Line large tarts with aluminum foil and weight with beans or rice.
- Chill tart or tartlets on baking sheets until ready to bake. This may be done the day before. Do not leave unbaked pastry in the tart shells longer than this or discoloration may occur. Any unused pastry can be tightly wrapped and chilled (up to 2 days) or frozen.
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Bake the shells for 15 to 17 minutes. Press down any pans that puff up. When pastry seems to be coloring very slightly around edges, remove top pans and return pastry to oven to dry out. Do not brown. Cool the shells on racks. If not to be used immediately, store in a tightly covered plastic container in the freezer. Thaw before using.
