Method

1. Beat the egg with vanilla and sugar until the sugar dissolves well.
2. On the side, rub the butter into the flour, then add the egg, sugar, and vanilla mixture and knead with your fingertips until you obtain a cohesive dough.
3. Wrap the tart dough in kitchen plastic wrap and refrigerate for about half an hour.
4. After the required time, place the tart dough into small tart tins or into a large pan as desired.
5. Prick the dough slightly with a fork after rolling it out to prevent it from puffing up during baking.
6. Put the small tart tins or the large pan into a preheated oven at 180°C until the edges brown... approximately 12 minutes.
7. When the tart dough is ready and baked, decorate it with cold pastry cream and fruit as desired.
