Shortcrust pastry is a sweet base used to prepare numerous desserts, such as tarts, cookies, and pastries. Its crumbly texture and buttery flavor make it irresistible.
With a wooden spoon, cream the butter together with the sugar and vanilla powder in a bowl; fold in two spoonfuls of stiffly beaten egg white and a pinch of salt
Add the sifted flour, mixing gently; cover the bowl with plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator for at least an hour
After this time, the dough, which was quite soft, will have firmed up and can be rolled out very easily
To prepare the pastries, you need semi-spherical molds; nowadays, they are also sold grouped on a single tray and are useful for many other preparations
Before placing the dough, butter them, then arrange the pastry, shaping it with a finger
without it spilling over the edge; obviously, the dough must be of uniform thickness
Place them in a preheated oven at 190 degrees, baking them for about 10 minutes; let them cool outside the oven, then gently remove them from the molds and fill them with a jam of your choice and with whipped cream in tiny dollops or with a cream ('pastry' or 'English')
