Cooking instructions

* Step 1

Leave the butter and egg at room temperature. Grease the tart tin thinly with margarine and chill in the fridge. Sift the flour.

* Step 2

Add the salt to the butter and mix until the butter looks like mayonnaise. Add the icing sugar and mix further.

* Step 3

Add the beaten egg yolk in three batches and continue to beat. Add the vanilla extract.

* Step 4

Add the sifted flour and mix well with your spatula.

* Step 5

Shape the dough into a similar shape to the tart tin that you are going to use (if it's a round shape into a circle, into a square shape if it's a square). Wrap with cling film and chill in the fridge overnight (or for at least 3 hours).

* Step 6

Take the dough out of the fridge and microwave at 500W for 20 seconds. Sandwich the dough with 2 pieces of cling film.

* Step 7

Roll out the pastry dough into an even 3-mm thickness, larger than the tart tin.

* Step 8

Peel off the top cling film. Place the tart tin upside down and flip over by lifting up the bottom cling film.

* Step 9

Line the tart tin with the pastry dough, pressing all the way into the bottom edges tightly with your fingers.

* Step 10

Trim the excess pastry by rolling a rolling pin over the tin. Fold the excess over the sides.

* Step 11

Prick the base and sides with a fork to prevent from swelling. Chill the pastry in the fridge for at least 1 hour to prevent form shrinkage.

* Step 12

Line the tart tin with baking parchment and fill with baking beans. Bake in a pre-heated oven to 180°C for 10 minutes. Remove the parchment and baking beans and bake for a further 10 minutes.

* Step 13

Use this tart crust for making any sweet tart desserts.

* Step 14

I love the good combination of tart pastry and sweet egg custard in 'Pumpkin & Egg Pudding Tart' https://cookpad.com/en/recipes/147136-kabocha-pudding-tart
