Sweet dough
Ingredients
- 250 g cake flour
- 100 g icing sugar
- 125 g butter
- 1 egg
Instructions
- Start by softening the butter using the microwave, gradually heating it at low power. It should have a creamy consistency.
- Add the icing sugar and mix with a spatula. The mixture should be creamy without any grains of sugar.
- Add half the flour and break an egg over it. Mix everything, then pour the remaining flour and add the last egg. Mix again with a spatula.
- Lightly flour the sweet dough, then put it on the work surface. Finish mixing it with the palms of your hands.
- Form a nice ball of sweet dough that you wrap in cling film.
- Put the sweet dough in the refrigerator for 2 hours minimum. Now you can roll it out using a rolling pin for your future pies.
- Sweet pastry pies will very often be baked in the oven without garnish but filled with pits, then topped afterwards like a strawberry pie for instance.
