Ingredients

• 115 grams Unsalted butter
• 50 grams Granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 130 grams All-purpose flour
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch tart pan with a removable bottom or line it with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a medium mixing bowl, combine the butter and granulated sugar. Use a wooden spoon or electric mixer to cream them together until the mixture is light and fluffy.

Step 3

Add the vanilla extract and continue mixing until fully incorporated.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients into the butter mixture, stirring until a cohesive dough forms.

Step 5

Press the dough evenly into the prepared tart pan, working it up the sides to create an even layer. Use your fingers or the back of a spoon to smooth it out.

Step 6

Prick the bottom of the crust lightly with a fork to prevent it from puffing up during baking.

Step 7

Place the tart crust in the preheated oven and bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the edges are light golden brown.

Step 8

Remove the tart crust from the oven and let it cool completely in the pan before adding your desired filling.
