Light Tart Crust

Recipe #297330 | 30 min | 5 min prep | 1 tart (Change Servings)

RECIPE BY: PlumpCakes

This tart crust remains buttery and nicely sweet despite the cutback on butter and sugar. I love to use it with my Light Pecan Pie recipe! Both are healthier versions of the insidious classic dessert!

Ingredients

  • tablespoons unsalted butter
  • tablespoons Splenda sugar substitute
  • pinch kosher salt (1/8 tsp.)
  • large egg
  • cup all-purpose flour
  • Directions

    1. 1
      Combine flour, salt, and sugar.
    2. 2
      Using a fork, cut in the butter until it resembles coarse meal and then add beaten egg until all combines together.
    3. 3
      Flatten into disk and chill for around an hour.
    4. 4
      Roll out and flatten into greased 9 1/2" cake pan lined with parchment paper on the bottom. (*I don't have a tart pan so you can try a tart pan if you like).
    5. 5
      Gently poke holes on bottom with a fork, line inside with foil, and fill with baking weights (beans, rice, whatever works).
    6. 6
      Bake at 325 degrees for 15 minutes w/ foil.
    7. 7
      Remove foil and then bake for 8 more minutes.
