Sweet Pastry
A super simple rich buttery sweet pastry that can be adapted multiple ways! (See the rest of my blog for examples)
Equipment
- 1 A stand mixer if you have one (totally optional)
- 1 Wooden spoon
- 1 Spatula
- 2 Mixing bowls
Ingredients
- 150 grams butter room temperature
- 150 grams icing sugar
- 37 grams egg yolk
- 490 grams plain flour
- 60 ml cold water
Instructions
- Using a stand mixer, or a wooden spoon, beat the butter and icing sugar together until the butter starts to lighten and the mix get slightly fluffy.
- Add in the egg yolk in small amounts, beating well after each addition.
- Mix in the flour and water and gently combine until you have a smooth dough. If doing this by hand, its easier to add the flour and water, mix a little bit in the bowl and then turn out onto a clean surface and knead together until you form a nice smooth dough.
- Chill for at least 30 minutes before using.
