mixture for a further two minutes at the highest le-
vel.

1 pinch Salt
1 Egg
125 g Butter
Preparation:

bowl and then add all of the other ingredients.
• Knead everything with the kneading hook first
for about 1 minute at level 1, then for about
3 minutes at level 2 - 3.
• Do not knead the pastry for too long, the pastry
could otherwise be too soft.
• Let the pastry rest in the refrigerator for half an
hour and then process it into a pie crust or small
pastries.

place it in a greased springform.
