Zubereitung von Shortbread Pastry
- Ensure all ingredients are chilled before starting. This helps create a flakier texture.
- Whisk together 225g (2 cups) all-purpose flour and a pinch of salt in a large bowl.
- Cut in 115g (1 cup) cold unsalted butter, using a pastry blender or your fingertips, until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Stir in 1 large egg yolk and 1 tsp vanilla extract (or 1 tbsp grated lemon zest) until just combined. Do not overmix.
- The dough will be slightly wet. This is normal.
- Place the dough between two sheets of cling film on a flat surface.
- Gently roll out the dough to about 1.5cm (½ inch) thickness.
- Refrigerate for at least 1 hour (or up to overnight) to allow the flavors to meld and prevent shrinkage during baking.
- Preheat oven to 150°C (300°F). Lightly grease a baking sheet.
- Shape the dough as desired (e.g., rounds, squares, or cut with cookie cutters).
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown. Baking time will vary depending on thickness and shape.
- Let cool completely on the baking sheet before serving. Enjoy!
