INSTRUCTIONS

In a food processor combine the flour with the salt. Process the
butter and shortening until they are cut into tiny pieces. Add 8
tablespoons of the water and process until it comes into a ball. If  it
is dry, add water by tablespoonfuls.  Turn the dough onto a board and
press it into a round slab about  1-inch thick. If it is not too hot,
roll the dough out immediately.  (easier to handle) But if the fat is
oozing out, then refrigerate for  2 hours at least or overnight to
relax the dough.  Gently flour your board and rolling pin. Roll dough
out from the  center until it forms a circle about 1/2-inch thick; turn
over and  roll until a little thicker than 1/8th-inch thick and
14-inches in  diameter.  Roll the dough over a lightly buttered 12inch
false bottomed tart  shell. Press the dough into the pan and trim the
edges pressing up a  border 1/2-inch wide. Fold that border back into
the pan (it should  not overlap the bottom) and press it back into the
sides of the tart  shell so that you are building up a double thickness
of shell wall.  Roll the rolling pin over the top to trim off excess
pastry and  refrigerate for 30 minutes.  Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Set the pan on a baking sheet. Line the  dough with foil or parchment
and fill it with dried beans. Bake for  10 minutes. Remove beans and
bake 10 minutes longer. Paint the bottom  of the shell with egg and
sprinkle on grated cheese and return to  oven for 3 to 4 minutes to
really seal the bottom. Remove from oven  and cool tart shell on a rack
for 30 minutes before filling and  finishing baking.  Yield: enough for
two 8inch tart shells or one 12inch tart Recipe By  :COOKING MONDAY TO
