Special Equipment: a standing mixer fitted with paddle attachment; 9 (4 1/2-inch) fluted tart pans with removable bottoms

For the Crust:
Put a baking sheet on middle rack of oven and preheat to 375°F.

Mix crust ingredients in mixer at low speed until a dough forms, 5-7 minutes.

Press ⅓cup dough onto bottom and up side of each tart pan, making sides slightly thicker.  Chill in refrigerator.
