2     Tablespoons granulated sugar (Glaze method 1)
1     cup cold water (Glaze method 1)

Preparation

Pâte Sablée – Shortbread Pie Crust
Step 1: Add flour, powdered sugar and salt to a stand mixer and mix ingredients together
Step 2: Add butter and mix until its consistency becomes like coarse sand, about 2-5 minutes
Step 3: Add egg and mix just until dough comes together and no longer sticks to the bowl. Do not overwork dough
Step 4: Form dough into a flattened ball, wrap in plastic wrap and chill in a refrigerator 1 hour
Step 5: Remove dough from refrigerator and let rest at room temperature 5-10 minutes
Step 6: Roll dough between two pieces of parchment or wax paper until it is about 1/8 inch (4 mm) thick. Do not overwork dough
Step 7: Form dough into a pie pan, pressing just firmly enough but not overworking the dough
Step 8: Trim the dough with kitchen shears so it is either flush with the top of the pie pan or leave a 1/2 inch overhang and fold the edge of the dough under itself and flute decoratively. Trimming the dough flush may result in the dough shrinking during baking
Step 9: Poke several holes into the bottom crust using a fork
Step 10: Chill 30 minutes in a refrigerator
Step 11: Line the crust with aluminum foil and fill with dry beans
Step 12: Bake at 375 F (190 C) 15 minutes
Step 13: Remove beans and foil
Step 14: Continue baking an additional 10-15 minutes until crust turns golden brown
Step 15: Cool crust to room temperature
Step 16: Grate the top of the crust with a microplane grater to get a nice, flat surface, if desired

Crème Pâtissière — French Pastry Cream
Step 1: In a medium-size saucepan, beat the egg yolks and sugar with a wire whisk until the mixture becomes smooth and turns pale yellow

Step 4: Pour the hot milk in a thin stream into the yolk mixture, whisking constantly
Step 5: Now place the pan over a medium flame and heat until it thickens to the consistency of custard, about 2 minutes. Whisk continuously
Step 6: Remove from heat, stir in the butter and vanilla, whisk again and cool 5 minutes. If you are making the pastry cream well in advance, turn it into a bowl, cover and refrigerate
Step 7: Spoon the pastry cream into the tart shell and spread it evenly over the bottom
Step 8: Place the raspberries on top in concentric circles
Step 9: Make the clear glaze according to the instructions below.
Step 10: Refrigerate the tart until ready to serve
