Number Of Ingredients 7

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/3 cup powdered sugar
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, cold
1 large egg yolk
2 teaspoons heavy cream
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Place the flour, sugar, and salt in the bowl of a food processor, stand mixer, or in a medium mixing bowl.
  • Pulse/stir/cut in the butter with a pastry blender, until the mixture resembles coarse meal.
  • Add the egg yolk, cream, and vanilla, and process/mix/stir until the dough gathers itself into a ball and pulls away cleanly from the sides of the bowl.
  • Wrap the dough tightly in plastic wrap, and chill for 1 hour.
  • On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough to a thickness of about 1/8-inch.
  • Press the dough gently into the tart pan(s), trimming away any excess.
