Yield Makes one 8-inch tart

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons sugar
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
1 large egg yolk
2 tablespoons ice water

Steps:

  • In the bowl of a food processor, combine flour, sugar, and salt. Add butter and yolk and process until mixture resembles a coarse meal, approximately 10 seconds. (To mix by hand, combine dry ingredients in a large mixing bowl; using a pastry blender or two table knives, cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse meal.)
  • With the machine running, gradually add water through the feed tube. Process just until dough holds together without being wet or sticky; do not process more than 30 seconds. Test the dough at this point by squeezing a small amount together. If it is crumbly, add a bit more water.
  • Turn dough out onto a large piece of plastic wrap. Grasping the ends of the plastic wrap with your hands, press dough into a flat circle with your fists. This makes rolling easier than if the pastry is chilled as a ball. Wrap dough in plastic and chill for at least an hour.
