Every baker needs a classic tart dough. This buttery dough produces a crisp yet sturdy crust. One batch makes enough for almost any size tart pan. You can also use this recipe for quiches and any leftover dough makes great cookies
- 1 2/3 Cup Unbleached Flour
- 1/3 Cup Sugar
- 1/4 Teaspoon Kosher Salt
- 1/2 Cup Unsalted Butter (Cold & Cubed)
- Unsalted Butter For Greasing Pan
- 1 Large Egg Yolk
- 1/4 Heavy Cream
- 1 Teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- In bowl of stand mixer combine unbleached flour, sugar, and kosher salt. Add butter. Using paddle attachment mix on low speed until butter is smaller than pea size, but not totally crumbly.
