Pasta Frolla Italiana

Italian shortcrust pastry

There are many recipes and methods to making shortcrust pastry. Some recipes have high content of butter and egg yolk suitable for savoury shortcrust pastry and others include sugar, either caster or pure icing sugar, for a sweeter shortcrust pastry.

A high butter content and the addition of egg yolk gives savoury shortcrust pastry and sweet shortcrust pastry the fine, crisp, melt-in-the-mouth texture and rich flavor. Methods can include combining crumbs with fingertips or pulsing in a food processor.  I say whatever works for you – then great!  I have a few recipes and methods that are a piece of cake and here’s one of them.
