My favourite dessert are many but the one that I like most is the Fruit Tart, I like it because of the buttery pastry taste and also the fresh fruit that came with it. Below is the recipe that I always use and it is a very simple recipe.

Cold Water (Optional)
In a bowl sifts flour and salt, add in the butter and sugar and blend till mixtures resemble breadcrumbs. Add in the egg yolks and mix until dough comes together use a little cold water to bind if too dry. Gather the dough into a ball.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out dough about ¼ inches thick. Cut and line a 6 inch tart pan, trim excess. Put tart shell in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes.
Preheat oven to 160D F. Prick the tart shell all over with a fork. Line the pastry with wax paper and fill with beans to bake blind for about 15 to 20 minutes or until golden brown. Take it out from the oven and let it cool down.
