Ingredients for 1 servings:

  • 200 g flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 60 g sugar

  • 1 pinch of salt
  • 1 egg(s)
  • 125 g butter, cold

Instructions

Working time approx. 15 minutes; Total time approx. 15 minutes

Basic recipe for a 26 cm springform pan

Combine the flour and baking powder and sift into a mixing bowl. Add the sugar, vanilla sugar, salt, egg, and butter in pieces and knead briefly using the dough hook of a mixer. Quickly knead the dough with your hands on the work surface until smooth. Wrap in cling film and refrigerate for 30 minutes. Preheat the oven to 180°C. Pour the dough into a greased springform pan. The baking time depends on the recipe and topping. For moist toppings, bake the base blind: pierce the dough a few times with a fork, line it with baking paper, and add dried pulses. Bake for 15 minutes at 180°C. This will give the base a nice crispy crust.
