Shortbread I propose to prepare a lean short pastry. The recipe for this test is very simple - only three components: wheat flour, vegetable margarine and ice water. This dough can also be used as a basis for baking unsweetened lean open pies. The dough is prepared quickly and simply. This dough can be used for sweet or savory baking. If you add vanilla, orange or lemon zest to the dough, then an excellent cookie comes out of this test. Ready cookies just need to be sprinkled with powdered sugar.
