This is a very versatile pastry dough that is so rich and yummy. You'll never want to use another. Enough for 12 tarts (regular muffin tin size) or 24 tassies. Some nice recipes to try are: Lemon Coconut Tassies, Brownie Tassies, Almond Tassies, Pecan Tassies, Lemon Tassies and Almond Raspberry Tassies (Filling).
Ingredients:
1/2 cup butter, room temperature
3 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
1 cup flour
1 dash salt
Directions:
1. Dump everything into a bowl, roll up your sleeves and get your hands right into it.
2. Work the dough well and knead for a couple of minutes.
3. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes (or more) before proceeding with recipe.
4. I have made up this dough up to a week (or even longer) ahead of time, and kept in a compartment in the refrigerator, wrapped airtight in plastic wrap. It is a wonderful thing to have on hand during the holidays to whip up a batch of tarts or tassies, fresh.
