Ingredients

• 170 grams Unsalted butter
• 100 grams Granulated sugar
• 1 large Egg yolk
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 250 grams All-purpose flour
• 1 pinch Salt
• 1 tablespoon Cold water

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter and granulated sugar using a hand mixer or stand mixer until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 2

Add the egg yolk and vanilla extract to the creamed butter mixture. Mix until fully incorporated.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour and salt.

Step 4

Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until the dough begins to come together. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 5

Drizzle in the cold water and gently knead the dough with your hands until it forms a cohesive ball. If the dough is too crumbly, add a tiny bit more water, 1 teaspoon at a time.

Step 6

Flatten the dough into a disk, wrap tightly in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours, to allow it to firm up.

Step 7

Once chilled, roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface to about 1/4-inch thickness. Fit the dough carefully into your tart pan, trimming any excess off the edges.

Step 8

Chill the lined tart pan in the refrigerator for another 15-20 minutes to prevent shrinkage during baking.

Step 9

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Prick the bottom of the dough with a fork to prevent bubbling, then line it with parchment paper and fill with pie weights or dried beans.

Step 10

Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Remove the weights and parchment, and bake for an additional 5 minutes or until the bottom is fully cooked.

Step 11

Allow the tart shell to cool completely before filling with your desired filling.
