Okara no taruto kurasuto / tart crust with soybean pulp

A super easy tart crust that you would never know is made of okara soybean pulp! This requires no flour sifting or dusting of your pastry board to roll out dough. Lining tart molds with dough is the trickiest part, as the dough easily crumbles -- molds with fluted edges, instead of the tart rings below, should make the process easier.
