Equipment

  • 1 Bowl
  • 1 Oven

Ingredients

  • 3 cups all purpose flour
  • 1/8 tsp salt
  • 1 1/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 3 egg yolks
  • 2 tsp vanilla bean paste
  • 2 unsalted butter

Instructions

TART SHELLS COOKIE DOUGH

  • Salt and flour (3 cups/430 grammes each) should be sifted. Place aside.
  • Unsalted, room temperature butter (two sticks, 226 grammes) and powdered sugar (one cup and one-fourth cup) should be thoroughly combined in a mixer with a petal attachment. Whisk together three egg yolks, vanilla bean paste, or vanilla extract in a small bowl (2 tsp). Beat the egg yolk mixture gradually into the butter creamed. As necessary, scrape the bowl a few times.
  • Slowly incorporate the flour mixture into the butter mixture. Mix until the mixture begins to bind. Add 1 teaspoon of milk if the dough is too crumbly. Avoid overworking the dough. The dough should be turned out onto a clean surface or placed into a big bowl and gathered with your hands into a ball. After that, shape the dough into a disc, cover it with foil, and chill for a minimum of two hours.

SHAPE AND BAKE MINI TART SHELLS

  • Set the oven to 350°F.
  • Mini tart shell moulds should be put on a baking sheet. Apply a no-stick spray, then set the area aside.
  • Cut the cold dough in half and remove it. Give it five minutes to soften. Use Dough EZ Mat or roll it out between two sheets of parchment paper. Utilizing 1/8 inch rolling guides, roll it out.
  • As many rounds as you can, remove. Reroll leftover scraps. The tarts should be formed as per the photo or video instructions. Prick the shells' bottoms with a fork. Bake for 12 to 14 minutes at 350°F or until the edges are brown.
