Prepare crust: Blend
flour, sugar and salt in processor. Add butter and cut
in using on/off turns until mixture resembles coarse
meal. Whisk egg yolk and 1 Tbsp. ice water in small bowl
to blend; add to processor and process until moist
clumps form, adding more ice water by teaspoonfuls if
dough is dry. Gather dough into ball; flatten into disk.
Roll out dough on floured surface to 13-inch round.
Transfer dough to 9-inch diameter tart pan with
removable bottom. Trim overhang to ½-inch. Fold overhang
in and press onto sides, forming double- thick sides.
Pierce crust all over with fork. Freeze crust 30
minutes. |

Preheat oven to
375°F. |

Line crust with
foil; fill with dried beans or pie weights. Bake until
crust sides are light brown, about 25 minutes. Remove
foil and beans; bake until crust is cooked through and
golden brown, about 20 minutes longer. Cool crust
completely in pan on rack. |
