Pasta Frolla: Italian Sweet Shortcrust Pastry
Report
Pasta Frolla, is the Italian version of sweet shortcrust pastry, and it is a staple Italian pastry dough made simply with flour, butter, eggs, and sugar. This versatile dough can be used to make a variety of delicious goods, such as tarts, cookies, tartlets, and more. It has a lovely crumbly buttery texture that accompanies fruits or creams' fillings.

Ingredients
- 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- 12 tablespoons 1 ½ sticks unsalted butter cold, cut into cubes
- 1 large egg room temperature
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ⅓ cup ice water plus more as needed
Notes
- This recipe makes two pastry crusts to each fit a 9-inch pie plate. It can be used to make two single-crust pies or one double-crust pie.
- I keep my pasta frolla very simple so it can be used with a wide variety of fillings, but you can alter the flavor however you like by swapping out the vanilla extract for almond extract, lemon zest or orange zest.
- Be sure to keep all ingredients cold at all times for best results.
- The amount of water needed to form the pie dough will always vary based on humidity. Always start with less and add more a little bit at a time.
- I like to run my hands under cold water and/or hold on to some ice cubes prior to kneading the dough to ensure it doesn't get warm.
