Gordon Ramsay's Sweet Tart Pastry

By CheeseDiva

Ingredients

• 1 stick unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
• 7 tablespoons sugar
• 1 extra-large egg
• 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour

Preparation

Step 1

Place the butter and sugar in a food processor and blitz until just combined. Add the egg and blitz for 30 seconds. Tip in the flour and process for a few seconds until the dough just comes together. (Be careful not to over-process, or the dough will become tough.) Add a tablespoon of cold water if the dough seems too dry. Knead lightly on a floured surface and shape into a flat disk. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes before using.
