Steps:
- Stir together butter and sugar in a medium bowl. Stir in yolks. Add flour and salt, and stir until mixture is dry and crumbly. Press dough into bottom and up sides of a 10-inch tart pan with a removable bottom. Freeze until firm, about 20 minutes. Meanwhile preheat oven to 375 degrees.
- Bake, rotating halfway through, just until crust turns golden around the edges, 12 to 15 minutes. Let cool in tart pan on a wire rack, 1 hour.
Tips:
- For the perfect shortbread crust, use cold butter and work it into the flour mixture quickly to avoid overworking the dough.
- If you don't have a tart pan with a removable bottom, you can use a 9-inch pie plate. Just trim the excess dough around the edges.
- To prevent the crust from shrinking, chill it for at least 30 minutes before baking.
- For a creamy pumpkin filling, use full-fat canned pumpkin purée and cream cheese.
- To achieve a smooth filling, whisk the eggs and sugar together before adding them to the pumpkin mixture.
- Bake the tart until the center is set and the crust is golden brown.
- Let the tart cool completely before serving. This will allow the filling to firm up.
