A Cocoa Shortcrust Pastry recipe that will allow you to obtain an elastic dough, easy to work with, but a slightly crumbly texture after baking and a delicious chocolate flavor.
There are some variants of the recipe for COCOA SHORTCRUST PASTRY with the Bimby, my favorite uses butter (which must be very cold) and not oil because, in my opinion, it leaves a slight aftertaste.
