Basic Tart Dough
Ingredients
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour, plus more for surface
  • 6 tablespoons chilled unsalted butter, cut into pieces
  • 1 large egg, beaten to blend
Instructions
  1. Whisk sugar, salt, and 1 cup flour in a medium bowl. Add butter and rub in with your fingers until mixture resembles coarse meal with a few pea-size pieces remaining. Drizzle egg over butter mixture and mix gently with a fork until dough just comes together.
  2. Turn out dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth (a few dry spots are okay). Form dough into a disk. Wrap in plastic and chill until firm, at least 2 hours.
Notes
Do Ahead: Dough can be made 2 days ahead. Keep chilled, or freeze up to 1 month.

Too-cold doughs can crack and split when rolled; let this sit at room temperature for five minutes first.
