Pâte Sucrée
(Sugar Pastry) Recipe

Origin: France Period: Traditional

The pâte sucrée is the classic French sweet shortcrust pastry base. It's one of those classic ingredients that too few people know how to prepare.

Ingredients:

pinch of salt
50g butter, cut into small cubes

1 egg yolk

Pâte Sucrée
(Sugar Pastry) Preparation:

Method:

Sift the flour and salt onto a clean work surface. Gather into a heap then form a well in the centre. Add the butter, sugar and egg yolk and using your fingertips work the ingredients together until they blend together. The ingredients should come together as a smooth dough the leaves the work surface clean (add a little water if needed).

Lightly knead the dough for about 3 minutes, until it forms smooth and elastic ball then cover in clingfilm and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before using.
