The dough for pies and tarts
In confectionery are a series of solid mixtures, used as a coating of molds for cakes and tarts. These pastes, used to welcome them to the cream or jam. The main ingredients to make the "crumbly", are: flour, butter and eggs. These mixtures are commonly referred to as "crumbly". There are different types of pastry in "crumbly", but all are so called because once cooked in the oven becomes solid, more or less resistant, and break, crumble easily, but has become soft on the palate, bursting in your mouth . This feature is mainly due to the presence of butter in the dough. Essential ingredient for the realization of "crumbly", butter, determined in different amounts than the other ingredients, determines the stage of cooking, a specific kind of crumbly.The "crumbly" are divided into: shortbread paste (for cakes or pies), brisée Paste, Sucrèe Paste, Sablèe Paste.
- The shortbread paste
The shortbread, in France, is called pate a foncer. This paste is less delicate and fragile Brisée Paste , but just as good and crumbly. Both are versatile and suitable for any type of base. These pastes are mostly interchangeable and can be prepared with the food processor (with dough hook).Even if the work is easier and faster, it is preferable to prepare the "crumbly", on a cold working conditions. Remembering also two basic rules for the success of the mix:
1) you have to work the dough very little otherwise, the dough gets too hot, we get during cooking, a mixture is too dry and hard.
2) Once the dough is ready to rest in the refrigerator, wrapped in plastic wrap from the kitchen for half an hour. It is precisely this period of rest that will make it brittle. No wonder meet again if the dough hard, after rest in the refrigerator, just a little work it with your hands slightly moistened with water to make the dough soft and pliable back, before being drawn into the cake pan .Remember also that the "crumbly" when ready to use, can be stored wrapped in plastic wrap from the kitchen, in the refrigerator for a week and in the freezer for up to three months.Below is the recipe for Paste shortbread for quiches and paste shortbread for cakes and pie.
