Set the oven to 400 degrees. Combine the butter and oil in a small bowl. Some of the butter mixes can be used to butter a baking pan. Brush the prepared pan with the butter mixture after placing one sheet of the phyllo dough there. Add 7 more phyllo sheets on top, brushing between each layer.

Frequently Asked Question
1. What is the difference between pie and tart?
Pies are deeper, with sloping sides, and can be sweet or savory, while tarts are shallow, with straight sides, and are usually sweet. Pies often have a top crust, while tarts typically do not. Additionally, pie crusts are typically flakier and sturdier, while tart crusts are more delicate and crumbly.
2. What are the tart baking tips?
Use cold ingredients: ensure that the butter, water, and any other liquids used in the tart dough are cold to prevent the pastry from becoming tough.
Chill the dough: refrigerate the dough for at least 30 minutes before rolling it out to make it easier to work with. Blind bake the crust: pre-bake the tart crust before adding any filling to prevent it from becoming soggy.
Choose the right filling: pick a filling that complements the delicate flavor and texture of the tart crust, and avoid fillings that are too heavy or sweet.
Bake at the correct temperature: To ensure that the tart cooks evenly and the filling sets properly, follow the recipe’s directions for baking temperature and time.
3. What is the golden rule of pastry making?
The golden rule of pastry making is to keep all ingredients and equipment as cold as possible, including the butter or fat used in the pastry dough, in order to achieve a flaky and tender texture.
