Shortbread dough recipe with and without mixer by Commentfait Ton

I invite you to discover here my recipe for shortbread dough. The shortcrust pastry is very easy to make and delicious to taste. We use shortbread most of the time in a pie with fresh fruit, but you can also use it in many other pastry recipes. I explain to you step by step in writing the steps you have to do but you also have the videos at your disposal, it's cute come from my Youtube channel "Commentfait Ton"

I give you the ingredients but be kind to watch the video at least the first minute to pay for my work. Thank you so much.

Ingredients for about 2 pies:

150g of sugar

1 tsp/coffee salt

250g soft cut butter

500g flour

2 eggs

Step 1 :

I give you here the way to make your shortcrust pastry with a mixer. If you do it by hand, watch my video, but the principle remains the same.
Start by putting the flour, the butter cut into small cubes, the salt and the sugar in the bowl of your stand mixer.
Using a leaf (a hook that looks like a leaf, often used to make choux pastry), start sanding the ingredients so that the butter blends in with the flour and sugar and the whole becomes homogeneous.

2nd step:
If you knead your dough by hand, sandblasting is done by successively rubbing butter, sugar and flour. You will see that by dint of rubbing with each other it will become homogeneous. Once this operation is done by hand or with a mixer, you can add the eggs, mix a little more, you will then obtain a homogeneous paste. I advise you to watch my video so you know when it is ready to work easily.

Step 3:

Once your shortcrust pastry is finished, leave it wrapped in cling film for about an hour and you can use it as you wish. Don't forget that like any pasta, this one needs rest even when you lay it down to make your pies. If you work it too quickly, the shortcrust pastry will tend to shrink and fall during baking.

Good appetite and see you soon on Commentfait Ton
