This is a perfect crust to use with fillings that will benefit from a hint of extra sweetness. Because this is a fairly durable crust, it’s an excellent choice for making bite-size tartlets or other finger-food desserts.

Cooks' Note

For recipes calling for a prebaked piecrust, preheat the oven to 325°F, prick the crust all over with a fork and bake for 12 to 15 minutes, until lightly golden. Cool and fill.
