How to master a dense and sweet tart dough
In short: When standard butter or lard pie dough is insufficient, a sweet tart dough provides a denser, slightly sweeter alternative. This video demonstrates the precise pulsing technique required to achieve the perfect texture.
The process begins by combining 9 tablespoons of room-temperature unsalted butter with 1/2 cup of super-fine fruit sugar in a food processor. After pulsing until combined, an egg is added and pulsed again, ensuring the sides are scraped down if needed.
Once the 1 3/4 cups of all-purpose flour are added, the mixture should only be processed until it begins to form a ball. To prevent a heavy texture, it is vital not to overwork the dough or add excessive flour. After shaping the dough into a round on a floured surface, it must be wrapped in plastic and refrigerated for at least 30 minutes before rolling.
