Recipe instructions

Step 1

Step 1
How to make shortbread cherry pie? Prepare your food. First for the test. Put the butter in the freezer half an hour before cooking — it should cool well. Before doing this, cut it into cubes. Choose high-quality, natural oil, without vegetable additives.

Step 3
Add diced cold butter.

Step 4

Step 4
Using your hands, rub the flour and butter into crumbs. Pour in cold water and knead into a soft, elastic dough. It is important to do this as quickly as possible so that the butter does not start to melt from the heat of your hands, otherwise the dough may turn out tough.

Prepare the glaze. Prepare food for her. Take high-quality chocolate with a high content of cocoa butter. I have chocolate drops. Wash the orange well with a brush before grating the zest. Remove the butter in advance so that it becomes soft.

Step 12

Step 12
How to make glaze? Combine milk with zest and bring to a boil. If desired, the milk can be strained. I didnʼt do this to make the orange taste more intense.
