Hi. What size egg do i use in this recipe? And is it necessary to put dough in fridge twice, once after kneading and the other, after putting in the tartlet tins?
Hope to hear from you.
Thanks

Hi, what size egg should i use? And is it really necessary to place dough in fridge on both occasions, once after kneading and the other, after putting in tartlet tins? Should butter be room temp or can be used directly from fridge?
Hope to hear from you.
Thanks

  Hi, I use a large egg and a chilled “diced butter” (but not too hard) on this recipe. Yes it is necessary to chill the dough a couple times after kneading and after placing them in the tins to rest a little bit before baking. Thanks!
