- Preparation: 25 min
- Cooking: 15 min
- Makes: 1 serving (105 g)
- Difficulty: Easy
- Diets: Vegetarian
- Contains: alcohol, dairy, egg, gluten
Ingredients
- 45 g Flour, all-purpose
- 25 g Butter, unsalted
- 15 g Sugar
- 10 g Egg yolks, raw
- 8 g Sugar, powdered
- 0.5 g Vanilla extract

Method

- Add the flour and bring it together into a smooth dough without overworking it; wrap and chill for 20 minutes.
