Egg yolk dough

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   Prepare the products. I had eggs and butter from the refrigerator, but you can also take butter from the freezer, only then cut it into medium cubes in advance.

2. Step 2:

   

   The flour must be sifted.

3. Step 3:

   

   Add a pinch of salt, 1 h.l. vanilla sugar and 50 g of powdered sugar to the flour. Mix well and pour into the bowl of a blender, so the dough will be prepared much faster.

4. Step 4:

   

   Add cubes of well-cooled high-quality butter to the dry mixture, mix. It will turn out a mealy crumb.

6. Step 5:

   

   Then add two yolks and pour in two tablespoons of very cold water. Mix again.

7. Step 6:

   

   Put the resulting mass on the table and collect it into a ball. The dough does not stick, it is not necessary to dust with flour. It is also not worth kneading for a long time, the shortbread dough does not like this, because the finished products will turn out to be tough. The dough can be assembled into one large ball as in the photo or divided in half and crushed into a flat cake, as it is convenient for you. Put it in a food bag or film and put it in the refrigerator for 30 minutes. or in the freezer for 15 minutes, or you can cook right away. Depends on your skills.

8. Step 7:

   

   The finished dough can be rolled out between 2 sheets of parchment 0.5-0.7 cm thick and cut into the shape of cookies or blanks for baskets, juicers. You can take a large piece of dough and distribute it with your hands in the form / for a pie or cheesecake .. /. Bake in a preheated oven, t 200 &039; cookies and baskets for 10-15 minutes, a large pie for about 25 minutes, until light blush. Cookies can be dipped in sugar or cooked with a filling.
