                • 2 tablespoons cold water<\/li>\n\n<\/ul>\n\n

                  The next step is to prepare the ingredients for blending.\nCut the butter into small cubes<\/strong> so that it can mix easily with the flour in the Thermomix bowl.\nMake sure the butter is cold enough to obtain a sandy paste. <\/p>\n\n

                  Place the flour, powdered sugar, cubed butter and pinch of salt in the Thermomix bowl.\nBlend for around 10 seconds<\/strong> at speed 6 until the mixture has a sandy texture.\nThen add the egg yolk and cold water. <\/p>\n\n

                  For a successful shortcrust pastry with the Thermomix, it’s essential to follow a few simple steps.\nStart by preparing your ingredients: 250 g flour, 125 g butter cut into pieces, 100 g caster sugar, 1 egg and a pinch of salt. <\/p>\n\n

                  First, pour the flour and sugar into the Thermomix bowl.\nAdd the butter and a pinch of salt.\nBlend at speed 5<\/strong> for about 10 seconds, until a sandy consistency is obtained. <\/p>\n\n

                  Then add the egg and mix on speed 4<\/strong> for 20-30 seconds, until the dough forms a ball.\nIf the dough is too dry, add a tablespoon of cold water and mix again.\nConversely, if the dough is too sticky, add a little flour and mix again. <\/p>\n\n

                  Remove the dough from the bowl and wrap in cling film.\nLet it rest in the fridge for at least 30 minutes, to make it easier to work with<\/strong> later. <\/p>\n\n

                  While the dough is resting, preheat the oven to 180\u00b0C.\nOnce the dough has cooled, roll it out on a lightly floured surface using a rolling pin, then place it in a tart tin.\nPrick the bottom with a fork to prevent it from puffing up during baking. <\/p>\n\n

                  Bake the shortcrust pastry for 15 to 20 minutes, until golden brown.\nLeave to cool before topping with your favorite mixture. <\/p>\n\n

                  For crisp<\/strong>, tasty shortbread dough<\/strong>, don’t hesitate to use quality butter and respect the resting time in the fridge.\nWith the Thermomix, preparation becomes child’s play and guarantees perfect results every time. <\/p>\n\n

                  Choice of ingredients<\/h3>\n\n

                  To make the perfect shortcrust pastry<\/strong> with your Thermomix<\/strong>, start by making sure you have all the ingredients<\/strong> you need.\nHere’s a list to follow: <\/p>\n\n

                    \n\n
                  • 200 g flour<\/li>\n\n\n
                  • 100 g cold butter, cut into pieces<\/li>\n\n\n
                  • 80 g powdered sugar<\/li>\n\n\n
                  • 1 egg yolk<\/li>\n\n\n
                  • 2 tablespoons cold water<\/li>\n\n\n
                  • 1 pinch salt<\/li>\n\n<\/ul>\n\n

                    Start by adding the flour<\/strong>, butter<\/strong> and salt<\/strong> to the bowl of your Thermomix.\nBlend at speed 6 for 10 seconds.\nYou’ll obtain a shortbread texture. <\/p>\n\n

                    Then add the sugar<\/strong>, egg yolk<\/strong> andcold water<\/strong>.\nMix again at speed 5 for 15 seconds, until the dough begins to form. <\/p>\n\n

                    For easier handling, remove the dough from the bowl and shape into a ball.\nWrap in cling film and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. <\/p>\n\n

                    A little tip for successful shortbread dough<\/strong>: make sure you don’t overwork the dough, as this will prevent it from becoming elastic.\nWe also recommend using cold butter<\/strong> rather than room-temperature butter for a perfect texture. <\/p>\n\n

                    The choice of ingredients<\/strong> is crucial for a tasty pastry.\nOpt for quality butter<\/strong>, preferably semi-salted, which will bring a rich, seductive flavor to your dough. <\/p>\n\n

                    For your flour, ideally choose T45 flour, which is finer and lighter, perfect for pastries.<\/p>\n\n

                    Thermomix temperature<\/h3>\n\n
                      \n\n
                    • Use cold butter<\/strong> cut into small pieces to obtain the perfect sandy texture.<\/li>\n\n\n
                    • Add a pinch of salt<\/strong> to your mixture to enhance the flavours.<\/li>\n\n\n
                    • Let the dough rest in the refrigerator for 30 minutes<\/strong> before using.<\/li>\n\n<\/ul>\n\n

                      For the best shortbread dough, keep your Thermomix at a low temperature<\/strong> (around 10\u00b0C) when you add the butter.\nThis will help maintain the texture of your dough without the butter melting. <\/p>\n\n

                      Then, when mixing the remaining ingredients, set the Thermomix to speed 4<\/strong> for 30 seconds to a minute, just enough to blend the ingredients without heating the mixture.<\/p>\n\n

                      Finally, to roll out the dough, work it quickly and use a lightly floured surface to prevent sticking.\nThis helps preserve the characteristic crumbly, sandy texture. <\/p>\n\n

                      Kneading time<\/h3>\n\n

                      To achieve the perfect shortbread crust, it’s crucial to follow a few key tips<\/strong>.\nFirst, use cold butter<\/strong> cut into small pieces.\nThis will give the mixture a sandy consistency.\nNext, use powdered sugar<\/strong> rather than traditional powdered sugar.\nThe latter will make the dough more melt-in-your-mouth. <\/p>\n\n

                      Don’t overwork the dough to prevent it from becoming elastic.\nOnce the ingredients have been mixed, wrap the dough in cling film and leave to rest in the fridge for at least 30 minutes.\nThis will facilitate spreading and prevent shrinkage during baking. <\/p>\n\n

                      Kneading with the Thermomix is simple, but must be precise.\nPour all the ingredients into the Thermomix bowl: 250 g flour<\/strong>, 125 g<\/strong> cold butter<\/strong>, 80 g powdered sugar<\/strong>, a pinch of salt<\/strong>, and one egg<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n

                      Program the machine to kneading mode<\/strong> and set the time to 30 seconds<\/strong>.\nThis short kneading period is enough to amalgamate the ingredients without overheating the dough and losing the shortbread texture. <\/p>\n\n

                      At the end of kneading, check the consistency.\nThe dough should be smooth and form a ball. If necessary, add one or two tablespoons of cold water<\/strong> to bind the ingredients together. <\/p>\n\n

                      \n
