Cocoa Shortcrust Pastry
Ingredients
- 370 g Type 00 flour
- 30 g unsweetened cocoa powder
- 160 g sugar
- 200 g very cold butter
- 1 egg
- 2 egg yolks
- salt
Directions
Place the cold butter, cut into small pieces, along with the flour and cocoa powder, into the food processor, and process until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Add the eggs, sugar, and salt, and turn the mixer back on.
As soon as the mixture is well combined, shape it into a ball with your hands and cover it with plastic wrap. Let the dough rest in the refrigerator for at least an hour.
After an hour, the shortcrust pastry is ready to use! I made this wonderful tart with strawberry jam!
