Ingredients
- 330 gr all-purpose flour + extra to flour the pastry board and rolling pin
- 165 gr butter softened to room temperature, or 75 grams sunflower oil
- 1 whole egg medium
- 2 egg yolks small
- 130 gr granulated sugar
- 1 lemon zest organic only
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract or 1 packet of powder or the seeds of 1 pod
- 1 pinch salt
Instructions
- First, leave the cold butter out at room temperature until it softens.
- In a large bowl, use an electric beater to whip the softened butter with the sugar, lemon zest and vanilla for at least 3 to 4 minutes until frothy and fluffy.
- Now add the eggs one at a time, still whipping with an electric beater. When the first one has absorbed add the second and so on. You should get a frothy mixture.
- Now pour the flour into the mixture and mix quickly with a spatula or fork, do not over stir.
- Place the pastry dough on a flat board or work surface and compact it quickly with cold hands. If it turns out too soft, add a little more flour, but just enough to form a ball. Do not over mix or knead!
- Wrap the dough ball tightly in plastic wrap, flatten slightly and place in the fridge to chill for 1-2 hours or in the freezer for 30 minutes. No matter how you plan to use it, this classic shortbread dough with butter should only be rolled out when cold.
- When you are ready to use this pasta frolla basic recipe in another of the delicious Italian dessert recipes it can be used for, simply dust a flat work surface with a very small amount of flour and lightly flour a rolling pin and then roll out the dough into the desired shape and bake as needed.
