Yogurt Shortcrust Pastry is perfect for making cookies or using as a base for tarts. It’s easy and quick to prepare, and the yogurt makes the dough crumbly and delicious.
I used vanilla yogurt, but you can personalize it to your taste or use plain yogurt.
The consistency of this pastry is unique: it differs from the classic tart due to the addition of yogurt, resulting in a soft texture perfect for those who love softer, less crunchy tarts. Yogurt shortcrust is also ideal for making delicious little cookies.
The dough contains no butter, just a bit of seed oil. I’m sure it will win you over!
Let’s start baking…
