Pastry
225g unsalted butter - 150g icing sugar - 75g whole eggs - 390g all-purpose flour - 3g salt - 3g baking powder
Whip the butter in a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment until it becomes a thick, smooth paste. Add the icing sugar and mix well. Add the eggs and mix until combined. Add the sieved flour, salt, and baking powder and mix again. Press the pastry into a flat square and cover in plastic wrap and put it in the fridge for 1-2 hours.
