🧅🥕INGREDIENTS🥕🧅
250 grams/ 8.8 oz plain flour
180 grams /6.3 oz plain butter
1 egg yolk ( from a medium to large size egg)
50 ml /1.7 fluid oz whole milk
1 or 2 pinch of salt ( for as savory shortcrust)
1 teaspoon of fine white sugar (if making a sweet tart)
Tips: Milk bring a softness to the crust but if you prefer a dough that it harder and crispier then replace the milk by water.
Note: if the dough is very slightly wet at the end when gathering the dough in a ball, just sprinkle a little bit of flour on your bench and roll the dough in the flour before doing the kneading.
