This recipe was given to Claudia by a neighbour, who used to have a bakery. The recipe includes a secret ingredient: a little bit of ammonia for baking, which she buys at the pharmacy. After preparing the dough, she lets it rest for at least one night. The ammonia for baking gives the shortcrust pastry a perfect texture.
