300 g Unsalted butter
500 g Plain flour
150 g Sugar
1 ds Salt
1 x Egg yolk
1 x Egg
Put the butter, cut into pieces, with the flour, sugar and salt,
into a mixer. Work it until the mixture resembles coarse semolina.
Add the egg yolk and the whole egg and do not work the machine for
a moment longer than necessary (VERY IMPORTANT) to amalgamate the
eggs with the flour mixture. Form it into a ball and leave it to
rest in the refrigerator for several hours before using it.
(The pastry will keep very well in the refrigerator for a few days,
wrapped in transparent film)
