How to make the shortcrust pastry

If you want to skip this step, you can buy sheets of shortcrust dough or shortbread dough at the supermarket.

Ingredients:

• 300 gr of flour
• 150 gr. of butter
• 1 egg
• 1 teaspoon salt

Step by Step:

1. Make a volcano with the flour, add the butter cut into cubes and join everything to form a homogeneous dough. Don’t knead it too much so it doesn’t get too hard.
2. Form a ball, wrap it in cling film and store it in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
3. After this time you remove the film and put it on a floured surface and stretch it, with the help of a roller, from the center outwards.
4. Line a low mold with parchment paper and place the dough on top, pressing lightly around the edge to shape it.
5. Once it is well molded, pass the roller along the edge and thus you will remove all the excess easily.
6. Prick the dough with a fork so it does not rise. Place an aluminum foil and top with beans or chickpeas so that it does not curl.
7. With the oven previously preheated to 180º C (up and down) you cook the dough for about 10 minutes, until it is slightly toasted. This step is very important so that the dough does not break under the weight of the filling. Then when you bake the cake it will finish cooking.
