Swedish Rich Short Pastry (Mördeg)


Ingredients:
1 1/2 c flour 1 tsp salt 8 Tbsp butter (1/4 lb., 1 stick) water (as needed) 1 egg yolk
Directions:
Sift together flour and salt. Cut butter into small pieces, then cut into flour, either using a fork or a pastry blender. Combine until flour-butter mixture resembles coarse meal (little bitty balls). Add egg yolk and enough water to create a coherent dough. Let stand in a cool place 1 to 2 hours. Press into baking pan and bake 15 minutes at 400°F.
