Directions

This is my recipe for 1 kg of shortcrust pastry that I can use to make biscuits or the base of my tarts.

You can add vanilla and/or grated lemon zest.

For a more rustic effect you can use sugar instead of icing sugar.

With 1 kg of shortcrust pastry you can make the base for 2 round tarts with a diameter of 19 cm.

You can keep your pastry for 4 days in the fridge or 1 month in the freezer, when you defrost it, it will be as if you just made it!

Steps

Done

Whip butter with icing sugar.
Add flour and work until you get a sandy dough.
Add yolk and egg work for no more than 4 minutes.
To obtain a crumbly shortcrust pastry do not knead your dough for more than 5 minutes.
Pour your dough on a floured surface and get 2 500 g loaves.
Wrap and put in the fridge for at least 30 minute.
