   Add the measured flour and stir until just combined and a soft dough forms.

4. 4

   Sprinkle the dough over the bottom of a 9-inch tart pan with a removable bottom.

5. 5

   Using a measuring cup or your fingers, evenly press the dough into the bottom and up the sides of the pan (flour the cup occasionally to prevent sticking).

7. 7

   Once chilled, prick it all over with a fork and bake until golden brown, about 20 to 25 minutes.

   Remove from the oven and cool completely on a wire rack before filling and removing from the pan.
