2 tbs sugar
6 tbs butter cut into small cubes

On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough out 1/8-inch thick to fit an 11-inc tart pan with a removable bottom. Butter the back of aluminum foil and set atop dough. Fill with pie weights or beans, and bake for 4 minutes. Remove foil; prick dough with a fork and back for another 8 to 10 minutes until lightly brown.
