Ingredients

10 servings

Select all ingredients

1 1/4 cups of flour
1/4 of teaspoonful of Salt
1/8 of teaspoonful of baking powder
1 bar of unsalted butter
3 spoonfuls of Water

Preparation

Mix the flour, salt, and baking powder in a food processor. Press 3 times for 1 second to mix. Cut the butter into 8 pieces and add to the processor. Press many times for 1 second until the mixture is dusty and no large pieces of butter remain. Add 2 teaspoons of water and press another 5-6 times. The dough should start to unite, forming a paste. If it is still very dry, add 1 teaspoon of water until the paste is incorporated.

Put the pasta on a floured surface and form a ball, flatten it into a thick disk. Put this paste between 2 sheets of adhesive plastic paper (egapac) and with your hands make a disk of about 15 centimeters.

Refrigerate the pasta until it is firm, at least for 1 hour.

When the paste is going to be used, flatten it with the plastic below to help put it on the mold. Put on the pie mold and refrigerate until it is going to be used.
