The proportions of ingredients for this pastry are always the same - twice as much flour as butter and sugar (in the case of sweetened pastry).\r\n\r\nAlthough I stick more to the rule of twice as much flour as butter, and I adjust the amount of sugar to my own taste.\r\n\r\nSuch dough, when kneaded for too long, softens, and after baking, it becomes hard - so we knead it briefly and quickly, and most often we also chill it after preparation.\r\nPerfect Semi-Shortcrust Pastry\r\nIt is similar to shortcrust pastry, but the flour to butter ratio is not maintained here. Usually, less butter is used than with traditional shortcrust pastry.\r\n\r\nAdditionally, a leavening agent in the form of baking powder is added to it.\r\n\r\n<strong>Semi-shortcrust pastries<\/strong> are therefore often more compact, less crumbly, and taller (thanks to the baking powder).\r\nNut or Almond Shortcrust Pastry - Best Recipes\r\nYou can also vary shortcrust and semi-shortcrust pastry by adding ground <a href=\"http:\/\/dev.wypiekibeaty.com.pl\/skladniki\/migdaly\/\">almonds<\/a> and nuts to it - in which case, part of the flour is replaced with finely ground <a href=\"http:\/\/dev.wypiekibeaty.com.pl\/skladniki\/orzechy\/\">nuts<\/a>.\r\nSee the best recipes for shortcrust pastries","link":"https:\/\/wypiekibeaty.com.pl\/en\/recipes\/cakes\/shortcrust-pastries\/","name":"Shortcrust Pastries","slug":"shortcrust-pastries","taxonomy":"category","parent":17139,"meta":[],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/wypiekibeaty.com.pl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories\/17184","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/wypiekibeaty.com.pl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/wypiekibeaty.com.pl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/taxonomies\/category"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wypiekibeaty.com.pl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories\/17139"}],"wp:post_type":[{"href":"https:\/\/wypiekibeaty.com.pl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts?categories=17184"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
