Recipe for homemade tart crust with a crumbly and melting texture (for a 9 - 10 inches / 22-25 cm tart pan - 10 slices)
Ingredients
- 250 g (2 cups) Flour - all-purpose
- 90 g (3/4 cup) Powdered sugar
- 50 g (1/2 cup) Almond flour
- 1 pinch salt
- 150 g (2/3 cup) butter - unsalted and cold
- 1 Egg - at room temperature
Instructions

- Mix with a tablespoon until well blended.
- Add the cold butter pieces and crumble the butter with your fingertips into the dry ingredients until you have a sandy mixture.
- Add the eggs and mix with your fingers then gather the dough until you get a homogeneous ball without kneading the dough too much.
- Cover the dough with plastic wrap and let it rest in the refrigerator for at least 20 minutes.
- Roll out the dough with a rolling pin on a lightly floured work surface to a thickness of 3-4 mm (or between 2 sheets of parchment paper)
- Line a 9-10 inches / 22-25 cm diameter tart pan with the shortcrust pastry.
Baking
- Preheat the oven to 347°F / 175°C and bake the tart shell in the oven for about 25 minutes to 40 minutes depending on the diameter until golden brown.
- Allow the tart to cool in the pan before removing from the pan and allowing the tart shell to cool completely on a wire rack.
- Fill the bottom of the tart with your cream and fresh fruit.
Notes
Storage: in the refrigerator raw or baked with filling for about 4-5 days and up to 3 months in the freezer.
