Shortbread with coconut oil

Shortcrust pastry in oil (or, if you prefer, butter in a solid state) of coconut is a simple, healthy and delicious alternative to the classic shortcrust pastry, indicated for those with lactose intolerance, or simply for everyone those who want to enjoy an original and fragrant base for their tarts or biscuits.
Coconut oil passes naturally from solid to liquid at a temperature above 23 degrees, so to have a creamy consistency it will be sufficient to put your organic coconut oil in the fridge for a few minutes. As with all dough with butter, it will be necessary to work the dough slightly so as not to overheat it.
Kneading it by hand or, better, with the food processor at low speed, the pastry will be ready in a few minutes and then you will just have to let it rest in the refrigerator.
The result will be compact, crumbly and suitable for any use of traditional pastry ... and then we can enrich it with a touch of creativity!
