Preparation steps

Sweet dough

Step 1
Place the flour in a bowl.
Step 2
Add powdered sugar and vanilla sugar.
Mix well.
Step 3
Add egg and butter in pieces.
Mix with fingertips until butter is fully incorporated.
Butter should be at room temperature to facilitate incorporation.
Step 4
Finally, shape into a ball and place in a bowl. Strain and refrigerate for at least an hour.
Step 5
Take out the dough a good 15 minutes before working with it. If it is too cold, it will be difficult to roll out.
Using a rolling pin, roll out the dough between two sheets of parchment paper.
Finally, line your mold and prick the dough to prevent it from puffing up.
Bake for 20 minutes at 180 degrees Celsius.
