How Do You Make A Tart Crust?
This tart crust is a good all-purpose dough for sweet tarts and pastries. It forms the base of our fruit tart eHow. Sift the flour onto a clean, smooth work surface and make a well in the center. Use the fingertips of one hand to mix the remaining ingredients together in the well, and use a flexible pastry scraper in the other hand to mix the flour in with the other ingredients. When the dough starts to gather together into crumbs, use your fingers to press the crumbs firmly together to form a ball of dough. With the heel of your hand and the pastry scraper, keep flattening the dough out and blending it back into a ball until it becomes smooth and feels velvety. Wrap it in plastic wrap and chill for at least 45 minutes.
