Pâte Sablée (Sweet Pastry Dough)
Source of Recipe
From "The Way to Cook" by Julia Child
List of Ingredients
- ¾ cup all-purpose flour
- ¼ cup plain bleached cake flour
- ¼ tsp salt
- 4 ounces (1 stick) chilled unsalted butter, cut into 16 pieces
- 3 Tbsp granulated sugar
- 1 egg yolk
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 1 Tbsp cold water (plus droplets more water, if needed)
Instructions
- Measure the flours, salt and butter into the container of a food processor and process about a minute, until the butter is thoroughly blended. Add and process in the sugar, then the egg yolk, vanilla and water. Continue processing for several seconds, until the dough masses.
- Turn the dough out onto your work surface, forming into a rough ball, then push out 2-tablespoon bits with the heel of your hand in 6-inch smears. Gather together into a cake, enclose in plastic wrap, and refrigerate until cold and hard, at least 2 hours.
For a 9- to 10-inch tart shell.
