Yield Makes one 9-inch crust

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/3 cup sugar
2 tablespoons unsweetened Dutch-process cocoa powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 ounces (6 tablespoons) cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
3 large egg yolks
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Pulse flour, sugar, cocoa, and salt in a food processor until combined. Add butter, and pulse until mixture resembles coarse meal, about 10 seconds. Add yolks and vanilla, and process until mixture just begins to hold together (no longer than 30 seconds).
  • Shape dough into a disk. Wrap in plastic, and refrigerate until firm, at least 1 hour (or up to 2 days).

Tips:

  • Mise en place: Before you start baking, make sure you have all the ingredients and equipment you need. This will help you stay organized and avoid any scrambling.
  • Use cold butter: Cold butter is easier to work with and will help keep the dough from becoming too oily.
  • Work the dough quickly: Overworking the dough will make it tough. Work it just enough to bring it together.
  • Chill the dough before baking: Chilling the dough will help it hold its shape and prevent it from spreading too much in the oven.
  • Bake the dough until it is golden brown: The dough should be baked until it is golden brown around the edges and set in the center.

Conclusion:

Pâte sucrée is a versatile dough that can be used for a variety of tarts and pies. It's easy to make and can be stored in the refrigerator for up to three days or in the freezer for up to two months. Pâte sucrée is a perfect choice for both sweet and savory tarts and pies. The sweet dough pairs well with fruits, chocolate, and nuts, while the savory dough can be used for quiches, vegetable tarts, and meat pies. No matter how you choose to use it, pâte sucrée is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
