Billed as the world's easiest tart crust, this recipe is simple enough for children and beginners. The texture is wonderful and never too hard which is often the biggest problem with store-bought tart crusts.

Time-saving preparation tips: Measure dry ingredients for both the crust and filling recipes (see Pumpkin Tart with Chocolate Caillat Crust) at the same time. Make the filling while the crust bakes. When you remove the crust from the oven, turn the oven down to 350° and finish baking the tart.
