Basic Sweet Tart Crust (Pâte à Sucre)
I wanted to make an easy-to-make tart crust that would turn out just the way I like it every time.
I added the steps to describe how to prep the tart mold or tin. If you don't need the steps just skip them. This crust is quite sweet, so you can reduce the sugar to 30g and it will still be fine. If using an electric oven, lower the temperature by about 10°C. If you use granulated or castor sugar, the crust will be crunchier. For one 18 cm [7.1 in] tart tin. Recipe by Iku..

Cooking Instructions
- 1
Cream the butter. Put in the salt, and add the sugar in 2 to 3 batches, mixing well between additions. When the mixture becomes light and pale it's good.
- 2
Add the egg yolk to the butter mixture, and mix in well.
- 3
Sift the almond flour and cake flour in, and mix with a spatula. When the dough is no longer floury, bring together with your hands.
- 4
Wrap with plastic film, and leave to rest in the refrigerator for at least an hour in the refrigerator. (I always make double the amount, and freeze half.)
- 5
Butter a tart mold lightly and dust with bread flour (or if you don't have any, use cake flour instead). Shake out any excess flour.
- 6
Sandwich the rested dough between 2 sheets of plastic film and roll out 3 mm thick. Line the tart mold with the dough, and cut off any excess dough by rolling a rolling pin over the mold or with a palette knife.
- 7
Pierce the bottom with a fork. (If you have some time, cover with plastic wrap and rest for more than an hour in the refrigerator. This prevents the crust from shrinking while baking.)
- 8
Line the crust with a piece of foil or kitchen parchment paper and put in some pie weights. (You can use adzuki beans or raw rice instead).
- 9
Bake in a pre-heated 170°C oven for 15 minutes. Take the weights out paper and all, and bake for another 15 to 18 minutes until golden brown.
- 10
Take the crust out of the oven and leave to cool completely. Remove from the mold.
- 11
You can also bake the crust without weights, but the shape will crumble a little bit. After Step 7 above, bake in a preheated 170°C oven for 20 to 30 minutes. When it is a nice golden brown it's done.
- 12
Point 1: In Step 9, if you cover the edges of the crust with foil too, you can prevent them from getting burned.
- 13
Point 2: Be sure to mix the floury ingredients in well. If you don't mix them in well the crust may break apart easily. If you loosen up the dough before rolling it out, it will become firmer and stronger.
- 14
If you are using the crust for a cheese tart or any filling that requires a partially baked crust, the baking time will vary depending on the recipe.
- 15
If you will be filling the crust with custard or similar, take the crust out of the oven 5 minutes before it's done, and brush the bottom thinly with beaten egg (or beaten egg white), and return to the oven.
- 16
Use the tart crust for fresh fruit tarts, chocolate tarts, no-bake cheese tarts and more.
- 17
I made cookies with leftover dough. Crispy and delicious!

Basic Sweet Short Tart Crust (Pâte Sucrée) Basic Sweet Short Tart Crust (Pâte Sucrée)
After trying many different recipes for this crust, this is the one I've settled on for now. If I discover a better ratio of ingredients, I'll revamp!When bringing the butter to room temperature, the idea is to make it soft, to the point where you can easily press your finger into it. So if you warm it in the microwave, watch it carefully so that it doesn't melt. (In my case, I put it in on a low setting and heat it once for 30 seconds, then for another 20 seconds if necessary)If you use vanilla oil, it gives a much more pleasant smell when baking than if you use vanilla essence, so I recommend you use the oil.

Basic Tart Crust (Pâte Sucrée) Basic Tart Crust (Pâte Sucrée)
This is the tart crust (pâte sucrée) recipe I have been using for ages. It's not too sweet, so it goes with any kind of filling.When making pâte sucrée, make sure you mix the dough very well as though you are kneading it (Foncer dough is mixed by cutting in the butter). This recipe makes a large amount of dough to make sure it fits nicely in the tart pan. The extra dough can be baked as is to make shortbread or you can use it to make mini tarts. Or you can save it and mix it in the next time you make tart dough. It will keep 5 days in the refrigerator and 2 weeks in the freezer. Recipe by Yukiline -
Basic Flaky Crumbly Tart Crust - Pâte à Sucre Basic Flaky Crumbly Tart Crust - Pâte à Sucre
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 -

Easy Sweet Potato Tart with Healthy Tart Crust Easy Sweet Potato Tart with Healthy Tart Crust
I simply wanted to make a sweet potato tart.If you do not have a food processor, mash the sweet potatoes until smooth. Melt the butter at low heat. You can mix all the filling ingredients in a food processor, however, I think it comes out better when processed manually, even though it is a lot of work; that's why I revised the recipe to manually processing. As long as all the ingredients are mixed well, you will not fail! Recipe by Healthy daisuki
