Shortcrust pastry is a sweet pastry base used to make many Italian desserts. It is made from flour, butter, sugar, eggs and a pinch of salt. Shortcrust pastry can be used to make tarts, cookies and other sweet treats. This recipe is simple to prepare and perfect for any occasion.
Sift the flour onto the work surface, form it into a well, make a hollow in the center and place the chopped butter, the eggs, the salt and the sugar into it.
Work the ingredients with your hands until you obtain a smooth, firm dough.
Do not overwork it because doing so would warm the butter too much and the dough would become crumbly.
Gather the dough into a ball, wrap it in plastic wrap and keep it chilled for 2-3 hours before using.
