Combine all-purpose flour, salt, and cold butter in a food processor.

Pulse the mixture until it reaches a sandy texture, checking for larger pieces of butter.

Continue pulsing until the mixture is sandy and the gluten relaxes.

Let the dough rest in the refrigerator for about 1 hour.

Roll out the dough to about 3 to 4 millimeters thick.

Place the rolled dough into a tart ring or tart shell.

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

If par baking, weigh down the crust with pie weights, rice, or dried beans.

Bake the crust at 375°F depending on whether you are par baking or blind baking.

For par baking, remove the weights and continue baking if necessary.

Let the tart shell cool completely after removing from the tart ring.
