Pâte Sucrée
Pâte sucrée (in French), pasta frolla (in Italian), sweetened enriched short-flake crust: different names, same pastry. Falling midway between a classic pie crust and a cookie, this rich pastry is enriched with egg, butter, vanilla, and sugar to make a tender crust that’s sandy and crumbly rather than flaky. Traditionally the base for fruit tarts, it can be used for any sweet pastry.
