Ingredients

Steps

1. 1 Have all kinds of materials ready.

   

2. 2 Slightly soften the butter at room temperature, cut into small pieces, and pour in the sifted mixture of cake flour, caster sugar, salt and vanilla extract.

   

3. 3 Stir into loose sand, leave a small hole in the middle, pour in the whole egg liquid, water, and lemon juice and mix well.

   

4. 4 Quickly knead into a ball. It is best to grasp the egg liquid with your hands first, and be careful not to knead the dough for a long time to avoid tendons. If there are tendons, they will shrink and deform during baking.

   

5. 5 Put the dough into a plastic bag, flatten it and put it in the refrigerator to refrigerate for 1 hour so that the texture of the dough becomes more delicate and even.

   

6. 6 Take it out and roll it into 3mm thick slices.

   

7. 7 Cut the dough into several pieces, spread them evenly on the tart mold, pinch the bottom and edges tightly, and remove the excess around the top. Poke small holes in the bottom with a fork.

   

8. 8 Place in the middle rack of the oven with upper and lower heat at 180 degrees and bake for about 10 minutes. Because this tart mold is non-stick, you don’t need to apply oil or powder in advance, you can use it directly.

   

9. 9 While the pie crust is baking, let’s create the ghost face pattern on the surface. Roll out the remaining dough into thin slices, cut it into a round mousse ring slightly larger than the diameter of the tart mold, and use the tip of a knife to randomly mark eye sockets, nostrils and mouth on the surface.

   

10. 10 After the tart shell is baked, let it cool slightly, squeeze the strawberry jam in the middle, spread the carved ghost face on top, and gently press it flat on all sides. Let me remind you that this pie crust recipe is on the low side of sweetness and is more suitable for use with sweeter pie fillings. But if you're using a very sweet pie filling, remember not to overdo it.

    

11. 11 Brush a little egg yolk liquid on the surface of the ghost face (egg yolk mixed with a little water will make it easier to color when baking), put it in the upper shelf of the oven, heat it up to 190 degrees, and bake for about 10 minutes.

    

12. 12 Apply color to the surface and take it out.
