  2. Chill the butter in the fridge until just before you use it.
  3. Preheat the oven to 355F/180C.
  4. Chop the white chocolate and leave in the fridge.
  5. Add the well-chilled butter to the sifted and cut the butter with a dough cutter or bench scraper until the butter is pea sized (small pieces).
  6. Using your palms, rub the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles powdered cheese.

  15. Wrap the dough with plastic wrap and rest in the fridge for about 1 hour.
  16. Turn the dough onto a surface lightly floured with strong flour.
  17. Roll out to 2.5 cm thick with a rolling pin and cut into 9 pieces with a knife or round cutter.
