100 cold butter
70 g icing sugar
20 g cocoa powder
50 g egg yolk
185 g flour
Directions
- Mix the dry ingredients.
- Incorporate cold butter into flour mixture quickly to create the desired crumbly, sand-like texture (rubbing method).
- Add egg yolks.
- Bring the dough together into a ball, being careful not to overwork it.
- Roll and let it rest in fridge (or even freezer).
- Remove the dough from the fridge.
- Cut the dough for the tart molds. This process needs to be done very quickly, the dough must be cold and solid. If it starts to melt, put it back in the fridge.
- After placing the dough in the mold(s), put in the fridge for 20-30 minutes before you start baking.
- Prick the tarts with a fork before going in the oven.
- Bake in the oven at 180 C around 25 minutes.
