    Tart dough this easy means pastries for everyone, all the time!

    We like things that are easy and we like things that are dessert. Thankfully, this tart dough checks all the boxes for us! Chilling everything-- even your food processor blade-- will help everything come together without turning into a too-soft mess. This dough freezes exceptionally well, shaped into a disc and wrapped tightly in cling wrap, then tucked into a freezer-safe zip-top bag.

    You can use this dough in one large tart or to make 4-6 individual tartlets, depending on their size.
