Heirloom Tomato Tart

Instructions

1. 1

   In a large bowl, combine the flour and salt. Add the butter and blend into the flour using a pastry cutter until the butter is pea-sized. Gradually add the water and mix just until the dough sticks together when pressed. Form into a disc. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.

2. 2

   With the rack in the middle position, preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).

3. 3

   On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to 1/8 inch (3 mm) thick. Line a 9-inch (23 cm) tart pan with the dough and prick all over with a fork. Cover with foil and fill with pie weights.

4. 4

   Bake for 30 minutes or until the edge of the crust is lightly golden. Remove the foil and pie weights. Turn the oven down to 350°F (180°C).
