This is the classic, versatile shortcrust pastry base for tarts, biscuits, and many other desserts. Made with only four ingredients, comes together in minutes, and requires a short rest in the fridge.

Method

  1. 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.
  2. Add the whole eggs and egg yolks. Mix until fully incorporated.
  3. Add the all-purpose flour (type 00) and mix briefly until just combined.
  4. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured work surface and knead just enough to bring it together. Do not overwork.
  5. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2–3 hours (especially in summer) before rolling out.
  6. Roll out and bake according to thickness and size of your tart or biscuits.
