Method

Make the Sweet Shortcrust Pastry

Melt the butter in a bain-marie*, stirring it with a whisk. Let it cool for a few seconds. Add the salt and mix. Pour in the confectioners’ sugar. Mix. Pour in the flour in a steady stream, while continuing to mix. Once the dough begins to form, take out the whisk and continue to mix with a spatula. Work in the baking powder. <
