Bimby Shortcrust Pastry

Preparing Bimby shortcrust pastry is really very quick, a piece of cake, it’s the perfect recipe for those who need to make a tart, cookies, or tartlets and have very little time to knead by hand. In a few minutes, we get a nice shortcrust pastry ready to be used. My advice is to let it rest in the refrigerator for at least half an hour, so it will be much more elastic and fragrant!

I look forward to seeing you on my Facebook, on my Instagram profile, TikTok, on Pinterest, and on my YouTube channel with my videos for a greeting and a comment.

See you soon, Susy

Ingredients for Bimby shortcrust pastry

  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 5/8 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 1/2 tsps baking powder
  • 1 lemon zest (grated)

Preparing Bimby shortcrust pastry

  • In the Bimby bowl, I place all the ingredients, close the lid, and activate for 3 minutes on kneading speed. I open the lid and transfer the dough onto the countertop, work it very briefly, just enough to compact it and shape it into a nice block. Our shortcrust pastry is ready. I wrap it in cling film and leave it in the refrigerator for at least half an hour before using it.
