Who among us doesn't like tarts? They are so good, greedy, fragrant ... Small problem: the calories! So I created a really fabulous shortcrust pastry for pies, with a much lower caloric percentage than the classic recipe! The shortcrust pastry that I propose today is prepared with wholemeal flour, brown sugar, only 2 egg yolks and without butter.

- Whole product. bio: 70 g of cane sugar
Materials Needed
- Bowl
- Pastry board
- Scale weighs food
- Transparent film
- Rolling pin
- Row lemons
- Sieve
Preparation
- In a bowl, combine all the dry ingredients, namely wholemeal flour, brown sugar, sifted yeast and salt. Flavor the powders with grated lemon zest (or vanilla).
- In the center, combine an egg, a yolk, the seed oil and the water. Mix thoroughly, gradually incorporating the powders.
- Transfer the pastry to the work surface and knead by hand until a compact, non-sticky dough is obtained. If necessary, add more flour.
The right idea
To obtain an even less caloric shortcrust pastry, it is possible to replace the brown sugar with 35 g of fructose.- The wholemeal shortcrust pastry is ready and can be rolled out immediately with a rolling pin. If you don't use it immediately, you can wrap the pasta in cling film and keep it in the fridge for 2-3 days. To prolong the shelf life, it is advisable to roll out the pastry, roll it together with a sheet of baking paper: the roll can therefore be frozen and used as needed (after defrosting in the fridge).
Alice's comment - PersonalCooker
The wholemeal shortcrust pastry that I have suggested can be used immediately and does not require waiting times for rest (as is the case with the original shortcrust pastry). Now you can roll it out with a rolling pin to obtain shells for pies or small biscuits!Nutritional values and Health Comment on the recipe
Wholemeal shortcrust pastry without butter is an alternative pastry base to the traditional one. It is less energetic but still very caloric. It is distinguished by its greater intake of fiber and its lower cholesterol and saturated fat content. The average portion of Wholemeal Shortbread Without Butter is not well defined and must be adapted to the specific preparation.
