The dough
- 2 1/2 ounces (75 g) butter
- 1/3 cup (50 g) of sugar
- 3 tbsp (15 g) ground almonds
- 1 1 large egg
- 1 1/3 cups (125 g) all-purpose flour
First mix flour, sugar and ground almonds. Then add the softened butter and egg. Work to incorporate all ingredients and form one balls of dough. Book it in the refrigerator for 1 hour or 2. After this time, remove the dough from the refrigerator, spread it with a roller on a floured work surface, and garnish your pan: round or square to choose from, a large mold or individual molds… Prick dough with fork. Put in the fridge. This dough requires no precooking.
