Working with extremely short doughs
I made a tart recently with extremely short, slightly sweetened pastry, and the results were excellent. The main difference from how I usually do it was in that the dough was first shaped into an oval (a bit like a football but less pointy), wrapped in plastic wrap and chilled for an hour or so.
Then, it was sliced with a very sharp knife into thin slices, which I laid into the tart dish and pressed together gently to join. No rolling necessary, just a good slicing technique and a decent knife :)

Last bite on earth:

I made these on a Big Green Egg last night, set up for indirect cooking at about 350-375F and they were phenomenal. The smokiness from some hickory wood in amongst the charcoal really set off the sauce. Definitely a new staple for my grilling days!
