The recipe

Sweet pastry
✔70 g soft butter
✔130 g flour
✔45 g caster sugar
✔1 pinch of salt
✔1 egg yolk

Mix all the ingredients together. Roll out the dough thinly between 2 sheets of greaseproof paper then place in the fridge for at least 30 minutes. Cut the pastry into different rectangles to fit the width (5cmX4cm) and length (3cmX9cm) of the crate and into very small triangles. Place in the oven at 165/170°C for around ten minutes. Leave to cool completely.

Melt a little white chocolate and use it to assemble the crates. Place in a cool place to allow the chocolate to harden.
