Shortcrust Pastry
Calories:
Ingredients
8
oz
plain flour
2
oz
lard
or your choice of vegetable fat
2
oz
butter
Pinch
of salt
Cold Water
Instructions
Put flour and salt in a bowl (I mix it up with a balloon whisk).
Chop the lard and butter up and put into bowl. Use a blunt knife to cut the fats up even smaller.
Use your fingers and rub the front and fats into each other to create breadcrumbs.
Add cold water slowly, mixing with a fork, then our hand until it is a smooth ball of dough. It should hold together easily but not be sticky.
