Butter a 11 inch/28cm diameter fluted tart pan or use 2 medium size pans. In a food processor or mixer fitted with the paddle attachement or by hand, mix flour, salt and butter first until coarse meal. Add liquid and mix until combined. Roll out pastry into a 0.12 inch/3 mm thick sheet between a large silicone mat and parchment. Freeze dough for 20 min and refrigerate until ready to use. Flip chilled pastry onto the work surface, remove parchment. Readjust pastry sheet thickness with the rolling pin if necessary. Place tart pan onto the dough and cut a circle around it (2 inches/5cm wider than the pan) – Top pastry with parchment, flip and remove silicone mat. Lay the pastry over the greased fluted tart pan. Using your finger, press the pastry into the edges and up the side of the pan. Create a leap all around and trim the excess pastry. Prick and freeze tart shell until ready to bake.

  1. Hello, Bruno.
    I glad to see such awesome recipe, but I have a question regarding cooking time. Why is it necessary to bake 55 minutes? Because potatoes, apples already cooked.
