   Lightly grease an 8 1/2 inch tart pan. Sift 1/2 cup flour and powdered sugar into a large bowl. Cut in 1/2 cup chilled, chopped butter until mixture resembles breadcrumbs. Add egg yolk and mix until dough comes together. Knead on a lightly floured surface until smooth then wrap in plastic wrap and chill for 30 mins.
