Sweet flan pastry
1 servings
Ingredients
| Quantity | Ingredient | |
|---|---|---|
| 300 | grams | Unsalted butter |
| 500 | grams | Plain flour |
| 150 | grams | Sugar |
| 1 | dash | Salt |
| 1 | Egg yolk | |
| 1 | Egg | |
Directions
Put the butter, cut into pieces, with the flour, sugar and salt, into a mixer. Work it until the mixture resembles coarse semolina.
Add the egg yolk and the whole egg and do not work the machine for a moment longer than necessary (VERY IMPORTANT) to amalgamate the eggs with the flour mixture. Form it into a ball and leave it to rest in the refrigerator for several hours before using it.
(The pastry will keep very well in the refrigerator for a few days, wrapped in transparent film)
