Step cooking
Important! Butter (150 g) must be removed from the refrigerator in advance. It needs to soften at room temperature and become pliable. It is very important to use only high-quality and natural oil, as the taste and consistency of products will depend on this.
- Sift 250 grams of white wheat flour into a deep container, add ¼ tsp to it. salt and 100 grams of brown granulated sugar. Mix so that the entire dry mass becomes as homogeneous as possible and the flour is mixed with sugar.
- We put 150 g of butter there and begin to grind it with flour, while combining them.
- First, crumbs will start to turn out, and when the dough is kneaded well enough and the butter is combined with flour and sugar, the mass will begin to turn out more thick and supple.
- When we combined the ingredients with our hands and got a homogeneous mass, pour 70 ml of milk to it. This is necessary in order to moisten dry shortcrust pastry. Then it will become more elastic and resilient.
- We continue to knead the dough after adding milk until we get a dense and elastic consistency.
- The finished shortcrust pastry in its structure resembles wet sand: it is crumbly and lends itself well to molding. In the prepared video, this dough is tender, crispy, has a bright creamy taste and smell.
Application options
This shortbread dough can be used in the preparation of many confectionery and baking. It behaves well when baked, does not fall apart and does not crack. Consider the most popular and most successful ways to use egg-free shortcrust pastry in cooking.
- Biscuit. The easiest and fastest way to get aromatic and tasty shortbread. Cookies can be made in a variety of ways, giving the product a taste. To do this, you need to roll out the sand dough into a layer with a thickness of about 7-9 mm. It is important that the same thickness is kept around the perimeter. After that, you need to form cookies from the layer: using special confectionery forms, a glass or a knife, cutting the dough into rhombuses or cubes. Finished products can be sprinkled with powdered sugar or coconut.
- Cakes. An endless list of variations of the filling for homemade sweets on shortcrust pastry: condensed milk, jam, jam, chocolate paste. To create a simple cake, you need to divide the resulting dough into two parts and roll each one about 1 cm thick. Bake such cakes in the oven for 15 minutes. On the cooled cake, apply the desired filling and attach the second one on top. Divide into portions, and the dessert is ready.
- Pie. Sand cake with cherries is very popular because of its unusual taste. The dough is placed in a round baking dish so that a peculiar dish with walls and a bottom is formed. It is important to ensure uniform thickness throughout the product. Prepared cherry filling is poured into this dish from the dough - grated berries with sugar. Bake for 20 minutes at 180 degrees.
