Light Tart Crust

Recipe #297330 | 30 min | 5 min prep | add private note

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!

1 tart (change servings and units)

Ingredients

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.
