The mother yeast and natural ingredients create a unique and tasty dessert that knows how to project itself in modern times and satisfy the expectations of those who still demand the good cake of the past. In each preparation there is always only one single ingredient capable of making a good dessert an unforgettable taste experience. It’s not about flour, yeast, or eggs. Or rather, not only of this. The most important ingredient is the master pastry chef, his skilled hands, his experience, the mastery of daily gestures, his wisdom and love for his work, a craft that gives sweetness every day. The pastry chef is the keeper of tradition, the one who transforms recipes into masterpieces, the one who knows how to dose each ingredient and mix it so that the magic happens, thanks to his wisdom and the precise movements of his hands we can live an extraordinary taste experience every day. Today we bring for you a typical Italian dessert known as Frolla or Shortcut Pastry. The interesting point is that these are long shelf life products and can be stored at cool and dark place. Shortcrust pastry is a type of pastry often used for the base of a tart, quiche, pie, or (in British English) flan. Shortcrust pastry can be used to make both sweet and savory pies such as apple pie, quiche, lemon meringue or chicken pie. The basis of shortcrust pastry is ‘half fat-to-flour’, of which butter is the most common fat used, with a small amount of ice cold water added at the end to bring the pastry together. Egg yolks and water also affect pastry. Egg yolks contain fat and act as an extra shortening agent but are used more to add colour and richness to the pastry. Looking for shortcrust pastry ?
