- Place room temperature butter, granulated sugar, and a pinch of salt in a planetary mixer. Mix until the butter has absorbed most of the sugar.
- Add the whole eggs and egg yolks. Mix until fully incorporated.
- Add the all-purpose flour (type 00) and mix briefly until just combined.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured work surface and knead just enough to bring it together. Do not overwork.
- Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2–3 hours (especially in summer) before rolling out.
- Roll out and bake according to thickness and size of your tart or biscuits.
