About Tart crust

Tart crust, a staple of European baking, serves as the buttery base for both sweet and savory tarts. Originating from French cuisine, this delicate pastry, also known as pâte sablée or pâte brisée, is typically made from a simple mix of flour, butter, sugar (for sweet variations), and a pinch of salt. Its crumbly and tender texture is achieved by carefully blending the ingredients to prevent overworking the dough. While tart crust is rich in flavor and versatile in its uses, it is not a low-calorie option due to its high butter content, contributing saturated fats. However, its simple ingredient profile allows for customization, including whole-grain flour alternatives or reduced sugar to make it a slightly healthier choice. Tart crust is meant to be enjoyed in moderation and serves as a canvas for nutrient-packed fillings like fresh fruits, vegetables, or nuts.
