I've always loved the crust part of tarts so much so that I always ate it last. Many recipes call for lining a mold with crust, adding the filling and baking it all together, but for tart crust lovers like me, they always end up tasting uncooked, and I've been disappointed many times. By baking the crust at a high temperature beforehand, it becomes crispy and nutty. The almond flour adds depth to the flavor, so even if the crust is thick, it will be delicious.Having baked many a tart without using pie weights, I've been able to come up with a way to bake a beautiful crust without the weights. If you want to use up the egg, just double the ingredient amounts and for 2 tarts' worth. You can freeze the unbaked dough, and it's on the sweet side too, so it's also delicious rolled and baked as cookies. Recipe by noi mama chan

I wanted to make a hard tart, but with less oil and moisture than what I've made up until now, so I took out one egg from the recipe and tested it out a few times.In Step 1, if you have parts that ball up and clump together, they will cause the crust to lose its texture when eating, so be sure to thoroughly break up all the clumps until the mixture is crumbly. To help with this, keep the butter in the fridge until just before using it.The crust will shrink a little when baked, so be sure to press the dough with your fingers to make it stand up just a little higher than the pan.It's okay even if you don't grease the tart pan with anything. For 20 cm [7.9 in] tart. Recipe by Koharumama

This is my basic tart crust recipe. I did a lot of research to get to this recipe! I make all kinds of tarts now using this crust. I think it tastes better than store-bought.If you don't have any powdered sugar you can use granulated or castor sugar, but the texture will change quite a bit. The crust will become a little harder, crispier and crunchier. Using powdered sugar gives you a crisp and crumbly crust that practically melts in your mouth so I recommend using that. I use 100% powered sugar with no corn starch mixed in. For one 18-20 cm [7.1-7.9 in] diameter tart. Recipe by Pu-kosan

I wanted to eat a nice crunchy tart! So I tried this!!It goes with just about everything so give it a try.The crust will turn out nicest if you work through Steps 1 and 2!When baking, sometimes bits of the dough will rise so keep an eye on it and use the back of a fork to push down any rising parts.At Step 6 if the dough is not sticking together try warming your hands or mixing it in a warmer room of your house. The key point to making a crunchy crust is for the dough to be thoroughly mixed! For one 18 cm [7.1 in] tart crust. Recipe by Hinanako*

I wondered if I could make a tart crust without oil, so I came up with my own recipe.Bake the tart crust until it is nice and hard and lightly browned. While baking, if it looks like it might start to burn, cover with aluminum foil and continue baking.If the dough doesn't clump together, add very small amounts of milk at a time while checking to see if it will clump.

I thought I had a tart crust recipe I liked, but I forgot where I put it. These ingredient amounts were rough estimates.If you're making two pies at the same time, rather than using two egg yolks, you can just use one whole egg. (Recipe by Setsubunhijiki)

Making a pie crust is a bit of a pain, and the store-bought kinds are kind of expensive, so I fiddled around and made a crust that's good for a quiche more than a tart.When lining the tart pan with the dough, try to make the dough as thin as possible. Press it in with your fingers.If using in tarts, adjust the sugar to 20-40 g.If you make a double batch (the pictures show double), you can freeze the leftovers as-is at Step 4. Recipe by Rizzy

I made this crust when I did not have tofu to make the "Easy Tofu Tart" crust.I was not sure if I wanted to share this recipe, but I do want to save it as a recipe.I recommend using this crust for a tart with the filling that needs pre-baking, such as custard cream or for a tart that you eat as a meal; though, this crust goes well with anything. You can grease the tart pan with some butter, but if you dust the tart with some flour and press it onto the tart pan, it comes out easily.You can also use margarine, if you are going to eat it at home. Recipe by Healthy daisuki

If you make shortcrust pastry dough in the way you'd make cookie dough, it won't be very crispy and crumbly, so I tried making it like a folded puff pastry crust, and the results were very crispy and delicious.I reduced the amount of butter used to cut the calories as well as the cost. If you don't have unsalted butter, you can make it with salted butter.○This amount will line an 18cm diameter tart tin without any leftovers, so use all of the dough.○Roll out the dough so the bottom of the tart is 3mm thick, and the sides about 5mm thick. You can do a bit of cutting and patching of the crust without any issues. Recipe by Ikumihan
