Making a good tart shell is key to a good tart. If you don’t have a good basket, then whatever you put inside would just fall out!
Mistake in the video
I wrongly mentioned the term “Shortcrust Pastry”. This is a term that’s used for dough that is either savoury or that has little sugar. It’s a term that’s usually used for pie crust. I was confused with the term “shortcrust pastry” when I made this video. Hopefully no confusions!
▶Updated Tart Shell Tutorial◀
There's actually a more up to date tart shell video that's even more comprehensive!
• Foolproof Tart Shell M...
▶Tart Crust◀
I have used the perforated tart ring. Same recipe applies for a regular tart pan.
Quantity: 2 tart crusts of 16cm diameter (2cm height) To be honest, if you scrape the leftovers and roll them out, you can get more than 2 tart crusts.
Butter (room temp) 100g
Salt a pinch
Powdered Sugar 72g
Almond Powder 20g
Corn Starch 30g
Eggs 36g
Cake Flour 170g
① Beat the butter lightly (add in salt).
② Sift in powdered sugar, almond powder and corn starch. Beat lightly.
③ Add the eggs gradually and mix.
④ Finally, add in the cake flour and mix well.
⑤ Roll it out to 2mm/3mm thickness between parchment papers. (2mm thickness for 6~8cm diameter, 3mm thickness for 14~18cm thickness. Any other sizes, you decide)
⑥ Rest in the fridge for 1~2hrs.(you get better results when you rest them)
⑦ Cut out into strips/discs.
⑧ Line the tart ring. Place it on a perforated mat.
⑨ For 2mm thickness, bake at 160℃ for 15mins. For 3mm thickness, bake at 170℃ for 15mins.
⑩ If you are to bake the tart crust again after adding the almond cream, then bake 2~3mins less. (so around 12~13mins)
If you want to apply egg wash the recipe is as follows: 10g Heavy Cream, 40g Egg yolk. Mix them well and strain it before use. Once the tart shell has cooled down completely, then brush them evenly and bake for 10~12mins at 160℃.
▶How to store◀
I usually store the tart crust in the strip/disc format in the freezer up to a month and bake just before use. Alternatively you can bake the tart shells, cool them, then store them in this baked state in the freezer up to a month - but I usually don’t do this because it takes up too much space.

Good video but I think there is a confusion at 1:20 about the pie weights. You can skip them because you're using a perforated mat and air bubbles aren't trapped below the dough. It works just as well with plain rings 👍

[@brendanbush2174]

The creaming method intrigues me as I imagine there is less issues when rerolling the scraps back into a mass. With the Sablage method I used before when making tarts where you cut the butter into the dry ingredients, if you handle the dough too much, or try to put them back into a ball and reroll it, the butter melts and you get differing textures each time the dough is reused. I was surprised when I saw you cut the scrap from the edge while you were rolling it and went to glue it elsewhere as that was something I was hesitant to do with the other method. I'll have to give it a shot at some point as the process looks a little more appealing to me

Thank you so much for this I feel my pastry is melting unusually quickly, within a minute or two of taking it out of the fridge it becomes too greasy and difficult to use and i have to put it back in the fridge Im using lurpak butter with 82% fat content, would a lower fat content butter help it not melt as quick? Thanks

[@HanbitCho]

it's not an issue about the butter - it's about the working speed. it's all down to experience.

[@minamax]

Hello Chef! I’ve made your recipe for baked chocolate tart. Absolutely amazing! Loved the fact that leftovers tasted just as good the next day. Technical question about tart ring and prep. I need to make about 6-7 tarts for Christmas gatherings throughout a few weeks. I want to prepare the tart dough as you mention in your masterclass. But I’m uncertain at what stage do you freeze them. Am I understanding correctly: Make dough Chill Roll out to 2-3 m Cut out with the tart ring and cut strips Take the circle out from the ring Freeze circles (16cm) and strips between parchment paper till further use Before baking, assemble the softened tart dough as per your video instructions Is this right? Thank you so much 😊😇

[@HanbitCho]

great! you've got it right. you don't have to freezer the circles and strips between parchment paper. you can just freeze it in an air tight container.

[@minamax]

@@HanbitCho hurray!!! Thank you 🙏. Freezing the larger uncut sheets was problems since my freezer is small 😂. I’m glad to you suggested this hack 👍👍🙏. Thank you again ✨

[@HanbitCho]

hi!

[@MrLukakis]

Hi, Can you explain how we should freeze the unused dough as in can it be frozen in tart shape or in the flattened out dough shape? How should we bake the tart if we are using it frozen? Straight from the freezer or thaw first? Just wanna say I saw one of your videos and instantly subscribe. Very informative, professional and easy to follow. I always look in your description or comments for the extra details!

[@HanbitCho]

It can be frozen both in tart shape or in flattened out state - doesn't matter. You bake the tart straight from the frozen state. Take a look at this latest video kzbin.info/www/bejne/pKXSgJaXf9dlsKc

[@MrLukakis]

@@HanbitCho how should I rebake/reheat the tart if I’m following the method of baking the tart then freeze it? Do I follow the original 160C at 15 min or do I have to adjust it to compensate for the fact that it’s already baked before? I have plenty of space in my freezer so I might do that method. I suggest that you should link all of your older tart crust video together, such as the master tart shell link you shared above, to this kind of video. I did not know you have another tart shell video with more details! I think some of your older videos do not include link to some of the newer recipe, such as I did not see your matcha drink video link in your vanilla syrup video. You should backtrack and link all of them so more people know about your great video! I’m a huge fan!

Heavenly taste!!! Very light and yet deep flavor. I used 4.5inch tart pans and they were perfect for an afternoon tea. I made more shells than filling so I stored them in the freezer. Should I thaw then assemble and bake them next time? Or can then go straight into oven? 답변 감사합니다.

[@mahshidm8930]

Hello. Thank you so much for sharing this video. I made tart shells before but never used corn starch and almond flour. What is the role of these flours in the dough? Thank you

[@HanbitCho]

[@kostassxatzi4158]

great video

[@HanbitCho]

Thanks!

[@Bel-gk7ie]

Just tried this recipe today and the tart shells tasted really good! However the dough was brittle and not as easy to work with especially when moulding the long strips for the tart walls (not sure if it’s because I switched the butter out for clarified butter - I’m making them for a friend who’s lactose intolerant)

[@HanbitCho]

you shouldn't use clarified butter - you can't cream it properly.

[@Chemeleon15]

Clarified butter doesn’t have any water in it and you need a tiny amount water to build at least a little bit of gluten to hold together

[@TrappedinSLC]

If you get good butter you shouldn't really need to clarify it, there shouldn't be much if any milk sugar left? That said you may find that alternative milks make butter that your friend can have - some people are okay with goat-milk products, for example, but not cow milk, due to the small differences. It will have a different flavor though.

[@romian988]

Amazing ! What about the tart shells for pies that need to bake for a long time like apple pies ? Do you need to cook them in advance too?

[@bettycheung470]

Thank you Hanbit for taking the time to share the useful recipe and tips! I’d like to ask if you have a favourite brand of the perforated tart rings that you would recommend?

[@HanbitCho]

I used Korean ones!

[@sheikyerbouty2926]

Perforation in the tart rings is for improving the flow of hot air, but to expose more dough surface for better water evaporation. Same reason why you use beans, water evaporates, expands and creates a bubble under the dough or in the dough, if not well mixed, where it can't escape. Heat transfer consists of conduction, convection and radiation modes. Thermal radiation is considered one of the main processes of heat transfer occurred in the oven during baking process. According to Zheleva and Kambourva, the top surface of the product in the oven is heated mainly by radiation and only little part of the heat is transferred by convection which is less than 10%. Conduction is basically none existent from wall to dish. The dish/Shell/plate you use to cook does transfer heat by conduction, but has to be heated by to oven too. That said, the 10% is at best. At the start of cooking it's much lower, 2-3% depending on air humidity in the kitchen. During baking water evaporates from the ingredients and convection heat goes up , at max 10%. That's why you don't open the door of your oven during cooking, to not let the steam come out, we don't care about hot air. Convection oven do improve the convection heat by 5%, by improving water evaporations of the ingredients. Also the steam is better spread and thus also a more even cooking. Zheleva and V. Kambourova.

[@daisypoon8040]

Hi Chef, I have tried baking the tart shells ( in fact 7 times) but I could not get the doneness of those shown in yr finished product. I followed exactly the timing used and the recipe but they don’t seemed to be baked enough ie very pale looking. I had to raise the temperature to 175*C and baked for at least 25 minutes to get it to a decent doneness. I am aware that our ovens are different but I do use an oven thermometer to monitor the temperature inside. Just wondering if I am missing something. I like the look of your tart shells.

[@HanbitCho]

oh you just need to bake longer if it looks pale! well, we use different ovens and you need to adjust for that.

[@edwinsantos7673]

I was wondering if there is anything needed to "glue" or join the side strips to the base to seal them together when forming the tart? What keeps the sides and base from separating? Or do they join together naturally in the baking process?

nope just follow the video.

[@gianerajohn436]
