225g plain flour, sifted
good pinch of salt
175g butter, softened
1 medium egg yolk
2 tsp caster sugar
1-2 tbsp cold water
Triple quantity:
675g plain flour, sifted
3 good pinches of salt
525g butter
3 medium egg yolks
6tsp caster sugar

Steps:

  • Mix together the flour and salt. Rub or cut in the butter until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs. Make a well in the middle and put in the egg yolk. Sprinkle the caster sugar over the egg. With a knife, gradually mix egg yolk and sugar into the flour. Mix in enough water, a little at a time, to form a stiff but pliable dough. Knead lightly, wrap in foil and chill in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes before use.
