Disc Tart

How do you bake a tart without a soggy crust?
This is how I usually bake tarts. First, I make the dough by kneading some flour and butter together. I then add a few teaspoons of ice cold water and work the mixture into a ball of dough, which I then flatten into a disc and refrigerate for 30 min.
After rolling the dough out and fitting it in a tart tray, I put on the fruits (if it's a fruit tart) or vegetables (if it's a vegetable tart). Then, I pour on the egg mixture (eggs and cream) and bake the tart till set.
The problem is...sometimes the crust seems to absorb some of the moisture from the egg mixture and become soggy. Sometimes it doesn't. Should I brush the dough with butter? Should I bake longer? (But a lot of times, the tart is set, and it's pretty much done...yet the crust is soggy. I don't want to burn the tart.)
I good solution would be to pre-bake the crust first. After you refrigerate the dough, roll in out and fit it into a tart tray. Place the empty tart shell into the oven and bake it for about ten minutes or until it is slightly turning brown. Do not over bake the shell. Pull the shell out and place your ingredients in it and bake as usual. The bake time may be less than usual due to the crust being all ready somewhat cooked.

Tart - $8.99 Cat Storm (Dominique Swain) is a bored high school girl in New York City who follows her petulant, rich friends from one coming-of-age adventure to another. They experiment with cruelty, rudeness, brazenness, and idiocy before moving onto sex and drugs. Cat's best friend, Delilah (Bijou Phillips), is kicked out of school for using cocaine (her father's), forcing Cat to become best friends with Grace (Mischa Barton), who guides her into the arms of William (Brad Renfro), the boy Cat's had a crush on for some time. Eventually they all wind up at a luxurious country estate for a weekend of drugs, passion, and, inevitably, gruesome murder. ~ Buzz McClain, Rovi |
