Ingredients

For the dough

  • 200 g all purpose flour
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 100 g unsalted butter cold and cut in cubes
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tbsp water

Instructions

For the dough

  • If you want to make the dough by hand, mix the flour salt and butter in a bowl. Pinch the butter with your fingers until no large bits of butter remain. The mix should look like wet sand. To make it in the food processor, add the flour, salt and butter and mix until you reach a sandy texture.
  • Add the liquids and mix y hand or process again until you get a smooth dough. Rest for 30min in the fridge, covered.
  • Roll it out to 2mm thick on a flour-dusted surface and put it inside your pan. Lift the edges and push down to make sure they reach the corners for a nice angle. Freeze the pan with the dough as it is for 15 minutes. After that time, use a knife to cut the dough to the edge of the pan.
  • Wrinkle a piece of baking paper, stretch it out again and place it onto the dough. Fill it with baking beans (ceramic or actual beans) to the top and press down gently on them to make sure they go into the corners. Bake at 180°C/350℉ for 20-30min or until the edges are golden.
  • Take out the baking beans carefully using the paper and place the crust back in the oven to make it evenly golden (about 5-10min more). Let cool down to room temperature before pouring the filling inside.
