HSN Cookbook - Wolfgang Puck
PÂTE SUCRÉ
Serving Size: Makes 1 ½ pounds or two 9-inch tart shells
Recipe courtesy Wolfgang Puck, "Adventures in the Kitchen," Random House, 1991
Ingredients
2 1/3 cups cake or pastry flour
1/3 cup sugar
½ pound (2 sticks) unsalted butter, chilled, cut into small pieces
2 egg yolks
1 or 2 tablespoons heavy cream
Directions
  1. In a food processor fitted with the steel blade, combine the flour and sugar. Add the butter and process until the texture resembles fine meal.

  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the yolks and 1 tablespoon of the cream. Scrape into the machine and process until a ball begins to form, using the additional tablespoon of cream, if necessary. Remove the dough from the machine, and on a lightly floured surface, press down into a circle. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
