Ingredients
- 150 g confectioner sugar
- a pinch of salt
- 90 ml extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 medium egg
- 1 medium egg yolk
- Zest of 1 lemon
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 280 g all-purpose flour
Instructions
- In a bowl, combine the sugar, a pinch of salt, the oil, the whole egg and the yolk, and lemon zest. Stir with a fork, gradually add ⅔ of the flour and the baking powder until the dough begins to form.
- Transfer the dough onto a work surface and continue to add the remaning flour, whilst working the dough with your hands until you have a smooth even dough (you might need a little less than 280 g). Use the dough straight away, or flatten the dough into a thick disc (it will make it easier to roll after), cover with cling film and chill for 30 min.
- Use this dairy-free shortcrust pastry as you would use the traditional one, to make tarts, cookies, or pies.
Notes
- Recipe Tips:
- • The secret behind a great olive oil shortcrust pastry is choosing a good quality extra-virgin olive oil.
- Choose an extra-virgin olive oil that is light, not too acidic or fruity, so that it doesn’t over-power the delicate flavour of the pastry.
- • To achieve a perfect melt-in-your-mouth crumbly texture, remember not to overwork the pastry.
- This will ensure that the crust remains flaky and delicate and doesn’t turn tough after baking.
- • Avoid using cold eggs when making the pastry, as it would lead to a non-homogenous pastry.
- Instead, let the eggs sit on the kitchen counter for about 30 minutes before using them.
- How to use:
- Use this dairy-free pasta frolla to make cookies, pies or the popular Italian jam tart (crostata di marmellata).
- Storing tips:
- For later use, simply roll the pastry dough into a disk, wrap it with cling film and freeze for up to 1 month.
