Yield 6-8 8

Number Of Ingredients 6

1/4 LB Butter (one stick) unsalted at room temp
1/3 C sugar
1/4 Teaspoon salt
1/4 Teaspoon of Vanilla extract
1 egg yolk
1 1/4 C of all purpose flour

Steps:

  • Beat together the butter and sugar in a medium size bowl until creamy. Add the salt, vanilla, and egg yolk and mix until completely combined. Add the flour and mix until there are no dry patches. Wrap the ball of dough in plasticwrap and press into a 4 inch disk. Chill several hours or overnight. Preheat oven to 350. Heavily butter and flour 11" tart pan. Use two sheets of parchment paper and a little flour to roll out the dough. chill the rolled dough for a few minutes. Place dough over a 11" tart pan and press into pan. Let dough in tart pan rest in the freezer for 10 min. Left over scrapes make excellent shortbread or thumbprint cookies You will need to pre bake the tart shell prior to making any fruit tart. Bake tart shell for 15min directly from the freezerat 350. Check halfway through to rotate, or use a fork to pop air bubbles Let cool on rack. Fill cooled tart shell with plums, apples or pears and cook for 35 min at 375. I also put in a pastry cream but that isn't necessary.
