Jam - a universal filler for any kind of baking, most importantly, pick up a suitable dough. Correctly selected dough will not allow the product to leak or soak up the cake during cooking and storage, and therefore it is best to give preference to the universal sand cake, which will keep all additives due to its high density. We decided to talk about recipes for a short pastry for a pie with jam in this material.
How to cook shortcakes for pie?
Let's start with the most classical variation, the composition of which includes flour, ice oil and water. Please note that not only the products, but also the utensils should be as cold as possible, but everything so that the dough does not rise and bubble during baking, but remains as crisp, oily and dense as possible.
You can leave the dough fresh, but we decided to pour a little powdered sugar to the flour.
Ingredients:
- flour - 135 g;
- powdered sugar - 25 g;
- butter - 65 g;
- ice water - 30 ml.
Preparation
Before the preparation of any test, it is necessary to pass the flour through a sieve. In our case, along with the flour, we will sift more sugar powder. To the resulting dry mixture, add pieces of ice-cold oil and crush everything into a crumb. Ideally, in this case, use a blender, but if it is not - the knife will also fit, the main thing is that the hands should not be involved in the process. When the crumb is formed from the dough, pour in the ice water to it and collect everything together. Shortbread dough is not kneaded, again, in order to not heat the oil. After half an hour, a short pastry without eggs for a pie will be ready, but if you do not plan to start cooking immediately, you can store a lump in the freezer.

After collecting the dough together, it is left to lie for at least half an hour and then served.
