Sweet short pastry is the perfect base for cakes, tarts or cookies. Thanks to the yoghurt butter, this short pastry is significantly lower in fat than in the classic preparation. The wholemeal wheat flour makes the pastry taste more hearty and stimulates digestion with plenty of fibre.

For the success of the shortcrust pastry you should follow a few tips: Take the butter out of the fridge in good time so that the ingredients combine better. However, if you knead the dough with your hands, add the cold butter in small flakes to the other ingredients. Even though many people know the short pastry as a kneading dough: Only knead as briefly as possible, otherwise the flour swells, the dough becomes brittle and difficult to work.
