Super quick French tart dough made in 5 minutes
You can quickly and easily make a versatile dough for French tarts (open pies) in just 5 minutes. A few simple ingredients are all you need to make a thin, crispy dough that can be used to make both sweet and savory pies, report the bloggers of the channel "Frenchman Cooks at Home."
In a small saucepan, add 125 g of butter to boiling water (1 cup). Melt the butter over medium heat. As soon as it boils, add half a packet of baking powder and remove the saucepan from the heat.
Then add 250 g of flour and mix well until smooth. When making sweet pies, add sugar for taste. I quickly kneaded the dough with a wooden spatula and placed it in the pan, then spread the dough over the bottom and sides of the pan with my hands.
Once the tart base is ready, it is pricked with a fork, filled, baked and covered with cold cream. This recipe is perfect for busy days when you need to whip up a tasty pie quickly.
