TOOLS

2 bowls, 1 roll, 1 pan(es) (- shallow), 1 ring(s) or mold(s) (12cm tool or equivalent diameter), 1 rolling pin, 1 culinary brush(es)

EQUIPMENT

conventional + processor (optional)

METERS

cup = 240 ml, spoon = 15 ml, teaspoon = 10 ml, teaspoon = 5 ml

Ingredients DOUGH FOR CAKES AND CAKES WITH 3 INGREDIENTS:

– 50 ml of fresh cream (or natural yogurt)

– 1 cup(s) wheat flour, or enough to loosen it from your hands, plus a little more to break it open.

– 40 g of unsalted butter

Ingredients FOR FINISHING / BRUSHING (EGG WASH):

– egg to taste, beaten.

– water to taste

– salt to taste (pinch)

PREPARATION:

1. Before starting to prepare the dough, if you use a filling that requires cooling, prepare it as it must be completely cold when you fill the sheets. It can be a moist filling, but without excess so as not to wet the dough.
2. Separate the ingredients and utensils for the recipe. The yield is 4 large baked sheets for every 2 portions.
3. Sift the flour into a bowl.
4. Cut the cold butter into cubes.

PREPARATION:

Baked shortcrust pastry:

1. This dough can be made by hand or with a food processor.

A) To do it by hand:

1. In another bowl, place ¾ of the sifted flour with the cold butter cut into cubes and mix with your fingertips until crumbs form: do not overwork the dough.
2. Add the cream or yogurt and mix.
3. Add the rest of the flour, if necessary, and knead until it no longer sticks to your hands.

B) To do this on the processor:

• Place the cream or yoghurt and cold cubed butter in the food processor and pulse to combine.
• Then gradually add 3⁄4 of the sifted flour and continue whisking.
• If your food processor isn’t big enough, transfer the dough to the counter and follow the process.
• Add the rest of the flour, if necessary, and knead until it no longer sticks to your hands.

2. Check the consistency of the dough: it must form a homogeneous mass and come away from your hands without drying out.

Baked shortcrust pastry – Shaping and filling:

1. Preheat the oven to 200°C.
2. Lightly flour the counter.
3. Roll out the dough until it is thin, about 5 mm, continuing to rotate it so that it does not stick to the work surface.
4. Using a 12cm diameter ring, cut circles into the dough, remove the scraps and set aside.
5. Tune and stretch a little more with your hands, increasing the circumference a little and leaving the edges thinner.
6. Sprinkle a little flour where you will place the filling.
7. Place some of the cold filling in the center of the pastries and fold the dough – don’t add too much filling to avoid forcing the dough.
8. Press the edges well so that they are completely closed and the filling does not escape during cooking – a tip is to rub a little egg on the edges to ensure closure.
9. Repeat the process until the dough is finished.
10. An important tip: if the dough tears, you can make seams with the dough and smooth it with a little beaten egg.
11. Place in the refrigerator to prepare later (within 1 day) or continue cooking.

Baked pastries – Cook:

1. Arrange the pastries on the baking trays, one next to the other, without overlapping them.
2. Brush the surface of the pastries with the beaten egg ingredients (see list of ingredients).
3. Bake in a preheated oven at 200°C for approximately 20-30 minutes or until the dough is crisp and golden.
4. If necessary, rotate the pan halfway through cooking to ensure even cooking.

FINALIZATION AND ASSEMBLY:

1. Remove from the oven and arrange bakery pastry(ies). on a plate.
2. Serve immediately.
