Ingredients
Instructions
1️⃣ Prepare the Crust:
- In a food processor, pulse flour, powdered sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- Add butter cubes and pulse until it forms a coarse meal.
- In a separate bowl, whisk egg, egg yolk, milk, and almond extract.
- Mix wet ingredients into the dry until a dough forms. Knead gently, then shape into a disc.
- Roll dough between two pieces of floured parchment paper to ¼-inch thick (about 12-14 inches in diameter).
- Chill for at least 1 hour or overnight.
2️⃣ Make the Filling:
- In a saucepan (off heat), whisk brown sugar, flour, and salt.
- Whisk in eggs, pumpkin puree, and spices until smooth.
- Gradually whisk in milk and cream (or sour cream).
- Cook over medium-low heat, whisking frequently, until thickened (about 10 minutes).
- Remove from heat and stir in butter (two cubes at a time) and vanilla extract.
- Transfer to a bowl, cover with plastic wrap touching the surface, and set aside.
3️⃣ Assemble the Tart:
- Let the dough rest at room temperature for 10 minutes.
- Peel off one parchment layer and invert dough into a 10-inch tart pan (or 9-inch pie dish). Press into the pan and trim excess.
- Use a 1 ½-inch cookie cutter to cut circles from excess dough for a decorative edge (optional).
- Pour pumpkin filling into the crust.
4️⃣ Bake & Cool:
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Place tart on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the filling is set.
- Cool to room temperature, then refrigerate overnight for best results.
- Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 4 days.
