Pate Sucree for Tarts
Pate Sucree and Pate Sablee: The French oftenuse these two classic crusts for tarts. Pate sucree is light and crisp; pate sablee is richand crumbly (indeed, its name comes fromthe French word for "sand"). The former is alittle easier to roll out; the latter can bepressed into the pan with your fingertips.
