Shortcrust Pastry My Way

The shortcrust pastry my way is a pastry dough but a bit different from the usual, it is not the classic recipe.
Generally, the shortcrust pastry usually prepared requires a lot of care because it tends to break, but this one can be worked with a pasta machine and has a consistency that allows you to do anything with it.
You can use it for pies, cookies, base for fruit cakes, in short, it is very versatile and above all, it does not break.
If you are curious to try it once, I am sure you will not leave it anymore, it is a pastry you will fall in love with and will use in all shortcrust-based recipes.
With this dose, you can make about 4 large pies.
Also, make a recipe using my shortcrust, a recipe I keep jealously, but I want to share it with you.

My name is Francesca Mele, and "Lo scrigno del buongusto" is the name of my blog. I am a true Abruzzese, and after several years with a cooking website, I decided to start a blog. I have been online for a total of 12 years now, so many of you have known me for a long time! I love cooking and I am neither a chef nor a professional cook; I simply have a passion for cooking, preparing, and inventing new dishes. The recipes you find on my blog are not copied, and even the photos are not downloaded from the internet; they are my own.
