Shortcrust pastry recipe calculator

Calcolatore Ricetta Frolle

Le ricette usano percentuali sul peso farina = 100%. Semplificazioni: densità impasto ≈ 1 g/cm³ per stimare i grammi necessari in teglia.
Conversioni pratiche: 1 cup farina ≈ 125 g; 1 tbsp burro ≈ 14 g; 1 tbsp zucchero ≈ 12,5 g; 1 uovo ≈ 50 g.
Consigli: impasta a bassa temperatura, riposo in frigo 1–2 h; cottura indicativa 170–180°C (forno statico), valvole e tempi variano con lo spessore.
