Servings4
2.5 cups all-purpose flour

1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup cold unsalted butter
4 tablespoons ice water

heavy cream

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: milk + cornstarch

Greek yogurt reduces calories while maintaining creaminess

1

Make the dough by whisking together 2.5 cups all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon sugar, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.

2

Cube 1 cup of cold unsalted butter into small pieces and add to the flour mixture.

3

Use your hands to crumble the butter into the flour until you have a mixture with varying sizes of butter pieces.

4

Sprinkle in 4 tablespoons of ice water, mixing with a knife until the dough holds together.

5

Press the dough down with your knuckles and fold it over to create layers for flakiness.

6

Tear the dough into two equal pieces, flatten into 1-inch thick discs, and wrap in plastic to chill for 30 minutes to an hour.

7

Preheat the oven to 425°F (218°C).

8

Roll out the chilled dough on a pastry mat, keeping it moving to prevent sticking.

9

Fit the rolled dough into a tart pan, trimming the edges as needed.

10

Crimp the edges of the dough and optionally cut a decorative pattern into the crust.

11

Place the crust in the freezer for 30 minutes to prevent shrinkage during baking.

12

Blind bake the crust by lining it with foil and filling with pie weights or dried beans, then bake until rock hard.
