Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

Dump onto a surface dusted with flour and shape into a flat disk. Press the dough into a 10-inch-round or 9-inch-square false-bottom tart pan, making sure that the finished edge is flat. Chill until firm.

Remove the foil and beans, prick the tart all over with the tines of a fork, and bake again for 20 to 25 minutes more, or until lightly browned. Allow to cool to room temperature.

TANTALIZING RASPBERRY TARTS
Another recipe from "The Anne of Green Gables Cookbook": "The little girls of Avonlea school always pooled their lunches, and to eat three raspberry tarts all alone or even to share them only with one's best chum would have forever and ever branded as "awful mean" the girl who did it. And yet, when the tarts were divided among ten girls you just got enough to tantalize you. " (from "Anne of Green Gables" by L.M. Montgomery). Times are estimated and do not include cooling time beyond the initial 15 minutes (included in cooking time). The original recipe did not specify the size of package of frozen berries, so I guessed a 10 oz package based on the fresh raspberry substitution.

Tips:
- Use fresh and ripe berries for the best flavor and texture.
- If you don't have a tart pan, you can use a 9-inch pie plate instead.
- To make the crust, you can use a food processor or a pastry blender. If you're using a food processor, be careful not to overmix the dough.
- Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before rolling it out. This will help to prevent the dough from shrinking in the oven.
- When making the filling, be sure to cook it until it has thickened. This will help to prevent the tarts from being runny.
- Let the tarts cool completely before serving. This will help the filling to set and the crust to become firm.
Conclusion:
These fresh raspberry and blueberry tarts are a delicious and easy dessert that is perfect for any occasion. The sweet and tart filling is complemented perfectly by the flaky crust. Whether you're serving them at a party or enjoying them as a special treat, these tarts are sure to be a hit.
