- 250 g plain flour
- 100 g sugar
- 1 egg yolk
- 140 g butter
- 45 ml cold water
2
Run the programme until the dough forms a ball (about 1 minute).
If necessary, scrape down the wall of the bowl with a spatula.
3
Press the dough a couple of times, with the palm of your hand, so that it spreads out without breaking (it should not be too cold).
4
Wrap the dough in clingfilm and press it flat.
Place in the fridge for about 1 hour.
5
Preheat the oven to 180°C (gas mark 4).
6
Butter the tin. Roll the pastry out.
Transfer the pastry to the tin. Prick the base all over with a fork.
7
Line the pastry with baking parchment and weigh it down with ceramic beads, dried beans or even rice.
8
Blind bake for 20 minutes.
