I was given this recipe years ago while I was working in a restaurant in Italy. I've been using this recipe ever since.
Super simple and most importantly, never fails!
INGREDIENTS (serve a 22cm tart tray)
215 g flour 00
110 g cold butter, diced
3 egg yolks
85 g icing sugar
METHOD
Place in a bowl the flour and the cold butter.
With your fingertips, pinch the butter and the flour together until mixed and all combined.
Add the icing sugar and mix until is evenly combined.
Place the egg yolks into the mixture and start to work it until a smooth dough has formed.
Wrap it in a clean wrap and let it rest for 60 minutes in the fridge.
After 60 minutes you can start working on the dough.
Now your dough is ready to be rolled out and used as a base to create your favourite tart.
