Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 170 grams Unsalted butter
- 100 grams Granulated sugar
- 1 large Egg yolk
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 250 grams All-purpose flour
- 1 pinch Salt
- 1 tablespoon Cold water
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter and granulated sugar using a hand mixer or stand mixer until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the egg yolk and vanilla extract to the creamed butter mixture. Mix until fully incorporated.
In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until the dough begins to come together. Be careful not to overmix.
Drizzle in the cold water and gently knead the dough with your hands until it forms a cohesive ball. If the dough is too crumbly, add a tiny bit more water, 1 teaspoon at a time.
Flatten the dough into a disk, wrap tightly in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours, to allow it to firm up.
Once chilled, roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface to about 1/4-inch thickness. Fit the dough carefully into your tart pan, trimming any excess off the edges.
Chill the lined tart pan in the refrigerator for another 15-20 minutes to prevent shrinkage during baking.
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Prick the bottom of the dough with a fork to prevent bubbling, then line it with parchment paper and fill with pie weights or dried beans.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Remove the weights and parchment, and bake for an additional 5 minutes or until the bottom is fully cooked.
Allow the tart shell to cool completely before filling with your desired filling.
