Wine Tip
Pinot Blanc, dry, 2012
This wine is deeply mineral in nature and lures with its aromatic fruit nuances. The subtle creaminess makes the Pinot Blanc the perfect companion for this dish.
Step 1
Preheat oven to 180°C/355°F. Combine flour, butter, water, sugar, and salt in either a standing mixer or by hand, until a dough forms.
