Ingredients
- 250 g flour 1 ⅔ cups, “00”
- 100 g granulated sugar ½ cup
- 120 g butter ~1 stick, unsalted and cold
- 1 egg at room temperature
- 1 egg yolk at room temperature
- ⅙ teaspoon salt
- ½ lemon zest, optional
Instructions
- Place the flour on a pastry board then make a hole in the center. Pour in this order: sugar, lemon zest (optional), salt and eggs at room temperature.
- Add the cold butter cut into small pieces. Combine it quickly with your hands. It's IMPORTANT not to knead with both hands, but only with the fingertips. The heat of your hands can in fact melt the butter too much and alter the final flavor of the pasta frolla.
- BEFORE KNEADING, here 2 useful TIPS: put your hands under cold-ice water then dry them well; use a marble pastry board. It's really important not to heat the pasta frolla dough too much!
- Mix the ingredients quickly for the shortest possible time, so as not to overheat the dough, until the mixture is compact and elastic.
- Form a loaf and wrap it in cling film. Let it rest for at least 1 hour in the fridge.
- Pasta frolla is ready: you can arrange it on a pastry board sprinkled with a little flour and roll it out with a rolling pin until you get a thickness of about 4 mm (0,5 inch) for a tart and a little more for making cookies.
