MONCANA MIX SHORTCRUST PASTRY RECIPE
Mould diameter 24 cm
Ingredients:
- 180 g mONCANA cake mixes
- 90 g cold butter
- 40 g unrefined cane sugar*
- 1 egg at temp. room
Decoration:
- 1 egg mixed
* you can add one sugar with real vanilla, then reduce the sugar by this amount
Preparation:
Mix the mixture with sugar and add the diced butter. Knead the crumble and add the egg while kneading a smooth dough with a spoon. It will be quite sticky, set aside for 10 minutes. Then form a circle from the dough to a thickness of 1 cm, wrap in cling film and place in the refrigerator for at least 2 hr. Don't cut it short. Grease a tart pan lightly with butter. Roll out the dough to a thickness of 0.5 cm on a baking tray lightly tossed with flour. Roll the dough on a rolling pin and transfer it to the mold, press down to even it out. Prick in multiple places with a fork and place the mold in the refrigerator for 5 minutes.
Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 180 degrees. Soak one sheet of paper in water, wring it out and grease it quite a bit with butter or coconut oil. Put this fat side on the dough, on this pour the load. It can be small beans or lentils. Align the load so that it holds the sides well.
Baking: At 185 degrees (top and bottom heat) bake with a load for 25 minutes, then carefully remove the cake, let it rest for 5 minutes and only remove the paper. Now, using a silicone brush, brush the center and sides of the tart with egg. Return to the oven and bake for 15 minutes until lightly browned. The bottom should be well baked. Remove from the mold only after the cake has cooled well.
Tips:
If the tart bottom will be used to bake again with the filling, reduce the baking time by 5 minutes. Based on this recipe, you can prepare the bottoms for mazurkas by making a rectangular shape. The shortcrust pastry is also suitable as a cheesecake bottom, in which case you should bake as in the recipe and you can even underbake longer, because in a cheesecake the bottom strongly absorbs moisture.
