I\'m Sonia and today we\'ll be preparing a classic base recipe -- pastry dough perfect for making great pies. Let\'s see what ingredients we\'ll need: • 1 ½ cups of powdered sugar • 4 cups of flour • A pinch of salt • Grated zest of one lemon • Four eggs -- we\'ll be using only the yolks • 2 ¼ sticks of cold butter cut into cubes. Let\'s begin making our pastry crust! Let\'s start by putting the flour into a food processor. Then add a pinch of salt, and the butter. Be sure it\'s very cold! Close the processor and whiz everything together until it resembles a coarse sand. OK. Now pour out the mixture onto a worktop. Add the powdered sugar and form an indentation into the top of the pile. Add to this the grated lemon zest and the egg yolks. Now knead everything together until you get a smooth dough. Don\'t work the dough for too long -- just until it\'s quite smooth. Now flatten it and form it into a loaf, turn it onto a sheet of plastic wrap, and place it into the refrigerator for at least an hour. Our pastry dough is ready. Now it can be rolled out and used in pies, biscuits and tarts. From GialloZafferano, bye and see you next time!'
