Ingredients

• 100g plain flour
• 50g butter, chilled and cubed
• 1 medium egg yolk

Directions

1. Sieve the flour into a bowl and add a pinch of salt. Add the butter to the flour, then rub everything together with your fingertips until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs.

2. Add the egg yolk and 1 teaspoon cold water. Mix it in with your hands, squeezing the crumbs together with your fingers. The dough should be soft but not sticky.

3. Turn the dough onto a sheet of baking paper and shape it into a ball. Wrap the pastry in cling film and chill for 20 minutes.
