1
Place the softened unsalted butter and sugar in a bowl. Using a spatula, thoroughly combine them.
2
Add the egg yolk and vanilla extract to the butter mixture. Continue to mix until all components are well-blended.
3
Add the all-purpose flour and salt to the mixture. Use the spatula to combine all the ingredients together, creating a cohesive dough.
4
Cover the dough with cling film and chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes or until firm to touch.
5
Divide the dough evenly and press each portion into a 2.5 inch tart mould, cutting away the excess dough with a knife if necessary.
6
Prick the dough's base using a fork. This prevents the dough from puffing up during baking.
7
Lay the tart shells out on a baking tray and freeze for 10 minutes. This is to prevent your tart shells from shrinking during baking.
8
Preheat the oven to 340ºF. Place the tart shells on the lowest rack and bake for 20 minutes on the upper and lower heat settings.
9
Remove the tart shells from the oven and allow them to cool down completely.
10
Once the shells have cooled off, gently remove them from their moulds. These tart shells are now ready to be filled and served.
