How to make shortbread dough

Shortbread, one of the most versatile types of dough. From it you can to cook:

• cookies;
• pies as sweet and meat;
• tartlets for salads and more.

What I like about shortbread dough is that it does not require rolling, you can work with it with your hands. You do not need to knead it for a long time and persistently, and then wash the kitchen table from flour for long hours.

So, for a classic shortbread dough you will need:

• flour 250-300 g;
• sugar 150 g;
• butter 200 g;
• egg 2 pcs.;
• baking powder or soda;
• salt, vanillin to taste.

Way cooking shortcrust pastry:

1. Place melted butter in a large bowl.
2. Add sugar, vanillin and baking powder.
3. Stir well.
4. Break the eggs into a separate bowl and beat lightly. The mixture should be like sour cream.
5. Combine butter with eggs and stir.
6. Add flour gradually. While this recipe is tricky to make lumps, adding flour in portions makes the mixing process easier. Plus, the flour is different. Somewhere it will need a little more or less.
7. Fold the finished dough into a ball, wrap it with foil and put it in the refrigerator for an hour or two. This is done to harden the butter, so the dough will become more elastic. It will be easier to work with him.

How to make a delicious pie in the oven

1. Remove the dough from the refrigerator.
2. Divide it into 2 equal parts.
3. You need to roll out the dough in a layer of medium thickness. It is more convenient to immediately put the lump on the parchment and roll it out on it. Don't worry, it won't stick.
4. Do not roll out too thin dough, it will dry quickly and turn into cookies. The optimum crust thickness is 5 mm.
5. The baking sheet must be covered with parchment or use a non-stick pan.
6. Bake the cake for 10 minutes at 180 degrees.
7. Cut the finished cake into 2 parts, the size of the cake pan.
8. Collect the cuttings in a bag, they will be used to decorate the dish.
9. Spread on each layer stuffing... Any jam, jam, fruit puree will do. In this case, homemade plum jam was used.
10. The remaining pieces of cake layers can be easily crumbled with a rolling pin. Just beat the bag of pieces with it until they are the size you want. 991 Sprinkle the crumbs on the finished cake. Let it stand to soak the biscuits in the jam. Optimally a couple of hours.
