80 g butter cold
1 whole egg plus 1 yolk
Mix in bowl don’t overwork dough and refrigerate for 1 hour.

Lightly butter a pie dish, place your dough thinly on top and prick it with a fork. Add the Ricotta cheese filling and bake in oven 160ºC for approx 35 – 40 min or until golden in colour.
Note: The shortcrust is at the bottom and I had left over, so I cut strips and put them on top you can leave it plain otherwise.
