How To Make banana tart

• 1

  Tart:Preheat oven to 350. In a small bowl, whisk together the egg yolk, water and rum extract and set aside.

  In a large bowl, sift the flour, sugar and salt. Using a pastry cutter, cut the butter into the flour mixture until the butter pieces are no larger than small peas. Add the egg mixture and mix with a fork just until the dough pulls together.
• 3

  Transfer the dough to a work surface, pat into a ball and flatten into a disk. Roll out the dough until the dough is about 1/8 inch thick and 2 inches greater in diameter than your tart pan.

  On a lightly floured surface, dust the top of the dough or the rolling pin with flour as needed and roll out into an 11-inch round about 1/8 inch thick. Fold the dough in half and carefully transfer to your round tart pan. Press the dough firmly and evenly into the pan, ensuring that the sides are not too thick. Trim the top.

  Line the tart shell with parchment paper and fill with pie weights. Bake the tart shell until the ridges are beginning to brown, about 15 minutes. Remove the parchment and weights and bake until the center is golden brown, approximately 10 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack and let the tart shell cool completely.
