10g fine sugar 细糖

50g iced water 冰水

Direction

1. Mix flour, salt and sugar in a big mixing bowl.

2. Add frozen butter to the flour. Cut the butter into coarse bits with a dough cutter.

将冰奶油加入，并以刮刀和面粉混合切成粗粒。

3. Add in egg yolk and iced water, stir into a dough using a pair of chopsticks.

5. Remove dough from fridge and allow it to rest in room temperature for about 5 minutes.

将冷面团拿出冰箱后，稍等5分钟后，才开始操作。

6. Divide the dough into 2/3 and 1/3.

将面团分隔成1/3和2/3分量。

7. Take the 2/3 portion and further divide into 8 portions. Place the dough between two plastic sheets, and use a plate to press it into about 12 cm diameter round dough. Place the flattened dough into the mould with the aid of the plastic sheet.

If the room temperature is high, keep the rest of the dough in the fridge until needed.

取2/3分量的面团，分隔成8等份。取一小面团置于两张槊料纸之间，用一盘子将面团压成大约12cm直径圆片。利用槊料纸将面团片装进模。

如果室温较高，可将其余的面团收进冰箱，直到用到时才取出。
