I use this recipe all the time. I got it from Pampered Chef. It is a quick, easy pastry. They have a shortbread taste to them. I use them for Creamy Lemon Tarts - Creamy Lemon Tarts-delicious! If you're using this recipe to make tart shells and will be filling them after they're cooked - pierce the base w/ a fork a few times.

    A delightful pastry shell--and I even used reduced fat cream cheese! Instead of 24 tiny shells, I made twelve small shells--12 gorgeous little blueberry tarts--beloved by all the lucky folks who got to eat them. The dough comes together beautifully and, after chilling, is very easy to work with. I am now looking forward to use this in a savory recipe. So glad I tried this, Anme! Thank you.

    These are easy, great little tarts shells. Tender and tasty, even by themselves. Thanks for posting!
