- 2/3 cup unsalted butter
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 eggs
- dash of salt
Pour the four and salt in a mixing bowl. Add in the sugar. do not mix.
Cut up the butter in small pieces and put on top of the sugar.
With your fingers or whole hands mix the sugar and butter. Then mix with the rest until it’s crumbly. Add the eggs and mix, knead a bit until it does not stick to your hands. Add a pinch of flour if it sticks a bit.
Split in two parts, Wrap in cling film or put in tupperware and let it rest in th
Take it out of the fridge and microwave for 10-20 seconds. Roll to a couple of mm thick. You can transfer it to a pie pan. The dough can easily be patched if it does not come perfect the first time. Nobody will notice.
Fill the pie with desired filling and bake usually about 40 minutes at 325.
