Remarks
The proportions for this dough are very easy to remember: 100 g flour to 1 egg and 4 g fine salt.

This dough tends to turn brown rapidly, so if you are making it for use the next day, add 1 tablespoonful of white vinegar to the ingredients before kneading to slow down the discolouration.
Keeping: A few hours on the fridge, wrapped in film.
Source: Home made.

Used very frequently in French cuisine, a secret of French chefs, it adds flavour to a lot of recipes, and it's easy to prepare. The basic principle is to make a small bundle of herbs, bind them in green leek leaves and to tie it up, so that the whole thing can be removed and discarded easily after cooking.
