Ingredients
- 320 grams all-purpose flour (2 cups rounded or 11 ounces)
- 170 grams butter (12 tbsp or 6 ounces)
- 6 tbsp water
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- 2 tbsp sugar
- 1/2 tsp kosher salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 410°F. Measure out your flour and keep in a bowl, set aside.
- In a medium-sized ovenproof bowl, such as a Pyrex bowl, combine the butter, oil, water, sugar, and salt.
- The original recipe called for placing the bowl in a 410°F oven for 15 minutes, until the butter is bubbling and starts to brown just around the edges. I used the microwave on high for 8 minutes.
- When done, carefully remove the bowl from oven (or microwave), dump in the flour and stir it in quickly with a wooden spoon until it comes together and forms a ball, which pulls away from the sides of the bowl.
- Divide the dough to 6 individual (5-inch round) tart shells (I use an ice cream scoop) or two 9-inch tart shells.
- Once the dough is cool enough to handle, pat it into the shell with your fingers and press it up the sides of the tart mold.
- Prick the dough base all over with a fork. Place the tart shells on a baking tray and transfer to the oven. Bake for 15 minutes, or until the dough is golden brown.
- Let cool and spread with any filling you like.
