Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 2 pinches salt
- 1-2 teaspoons milk
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter cold and cubed
- 1 large egg
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, powdered sugar, and salt.
- Add 1 teaspoon milk and 1/2 cup cold, cubed butter to the dry ingredients. Using a pastry cutter or your hands, blend until the mixture resembles coarse breadcrumbs.
- Mix in the egg until the dough begins to clump together. If there are still dry crumbs in the bottom of the bowl, add a little milk at a time until the dough clumps together without being dry.
- Shape the dough into a disk, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to about 1/4 inch thick and fit it into a 9-inch tart pan. Trim excess dough.
- Prick the bottom of the dough with a fork and then freeze the dough, covered, for 45 minutes.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.
