Basic Short Pastry (also called Brisée Pastry)
Ingredients:
160g standard plain flour
120g butter
good pinch of salt
50ml cold water
Method:
Place flour, butter and salt in a large mixing bowl. Using your fingertips, gently rub ingredients together until they resemble rough breadcrumbs. Do not over-mix otherwise butter will begin to melt from the heat of your fingers.
Add water and mix until a dough is formed. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes or overnight.
Gently re-work pastry before using, taking care to ensure it remains cold and firm.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out pastry into a sheet about 3mm thick or as stated in your recipe.
