Sweet Shortcrust Pastry

Instructions

To prepare the shortcrust pastry put the flour (1), one pinch of salt and the diced cold butter (2) in the food processor and liquidize everything until you get a sandy and floury consistency (3).
Then make a well in the centre of the obtained mixture and pour the powdered sugar (4), the yolks (5), the vanilla powder or the grated lemon zest (6); blend quickly all the ingredients until you obtain a firm and quite elastic dough (7).
Form the obtained dough into a ball (8), wrap it with cling film (9) and let everything rest into the fridge for at least half an hour.
After half an hour, your shortcrust pastry is ready to be rolled out and used.
