Shortcrust pastry for pie - useful tips and tricks
• Shortbread dough is perfectly stored in the refrigerator and tolerates freezing. Therefore, you can always cook it more and make a small margin. Or throw leftovers in the freezer and use if necessary.
• The longer the flour is mixed with the rest of the ingredients, the tougher the shortbread will be. Ideally, a few hand rotations are enough to collect the ingredients in a lump. And then they mix together to form a pie and roll out the formation.
• Shortbread dough loves fat. Therefore, sour cream, mayonnaise and other ingredients are best taken with its high content.
• Egg protein can make baking stiff and make it friable. Therefore, often only raw yolks are used in the dough.
• When laying out the dough into the mold, the formation should be well pressed with your hands and let out all the air. Otherwise, when baking, the cake is deformed, the surface will be uneven.
• Shortbread dough is baked for a long time. Therefore, do not roll out the layers for the cake more than 0.5 centimeters. But then you can put any raw fillings into it: vegetables, meat, chicken and not worry that the base will cook faster.
