Add the cold margarine in cubes and rub it in with your fingertips, until coarse crumbs form.
💡The butter must stay cold: butter that melts in your hands gives a hard dough instead of a crumbly one. Work quickly, and if the dough warms up, put it back in the fridge.
3
Add the egg and lemon zest and quickly bring together with your hands, without kneading, just until the dough comes together.
💡Knead as little as possible: long kneading develops gluten, and the dough comes out tough and shrinks in the oven.
4
Line a 24 cm Springform pan with parchment paper and line it with the dough on top.
