Shortcrust Pastry.
Method
-
Place plain flour (175 g) and butter (100 g) in a bowl and rub together with your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse breadcrumbs, working quickly to avoid warming the dough.
-
Add water (2 tbsp) using a knife to mix it together, adding more a teaspoon at a time if required.
-
Wrap the dough in clingfilm and chill for 30 minutes.
If using as a pie crust, pre-bake for ~{10%minutes} at 200°C
