Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams all-purpose flour
- 200 grams unsalted butter, chilled and cubed
- 120 milliliters ice water
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
- 1 large egg, beaten
Instructions
In a large bowl, mix the flour, salt, and sugar together.
Add the chilled, cubed butter to the flour mixture.
Using a pastry cutter or your fingertips, mix the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse breadcrumbs with some larger pieces of butter still visible.
Gradually add the ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough just comes together. Be careful not to overwork the dough.
Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently to bring it together. Shape it into a disc, wrap it in plastic wrap, and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Remove the dough from the refrigerator and roll it out on a lightly floured surface to a rectangle about 1/8 inch thick.
Roll the pastry into a tight roll from one end to the other.
Cut the roll into 1-inch slices and place them, cut side up, on the prepared baking sheet.
Brush the tops with the beaten egg to give them a golden finish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until the pastry is golden brown and cooked through.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before serving.
