1.
For the base, sift the flour onto a work surface, mix with salt and sugar, then press a well in the center. Cut the cold butter into small pieces and distribute around the well; add the egg to the center and use a knife to cut through all ingredients until small dough crumbs form. Quickly knead by hand into a dough that no longer sticks to your hands. Adjust flour if necessary. Shape the dough into a ball, wrap in cling film, and chill for about 30 minutes.
