Pâté Sablée is a type of French pastry dough known for its rich, crumbly texture. It is made primarily from flour, butter, sugar, and egg yolks, which contribute to its tender consistency. This dough is often used as a base for tarts and desserts, providing a sweet and buttery flavor that complements various fillings. The name "sablée" translates to "sandy" in French, reflecting the dough's texture. Pâté Sablée is typically rolled out and shaped into tart pans before being baked. It is a versatile pastry that can be filled with fruits, creams, or custards, making it a popular choice in French patisserie.
