Cooking steps

1. Wrap the butter in foil and place it in the freezer for 30-45 minutes.

   Required ingredients:

   • Butter: 110 g

2. Sift flour with a pinch of salt into a bowl. Take the butter out of the freezer, slightly bend the foil and grate it quickly on a coarse grater, periodically sprinkling the piece with flour to make grating easier. Chop the butter with the flour using a knife (do not do this by hand to prevent melting) until crumbly. Sprinkle with 2 tablespoons of cold water and chop again. Then mix the dough by hand, adding a little more water if necessary. The dough should easily pull away from the edges of the bowl. Transfer the dough to a bag and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
