Ingredients

Method

  • STEP 1

    Sift the plain flour into a large bowl or the largest bowl of a food processor. Add the diced butter and either rub in with your fingertips, or, if using a food processor, pulse until until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs. Add the salt and mix again.

  • STEP 2

    Gradually add the liquid by starting with 1 tbsp milk or water, then adding a little more until the mixture comes together to form a dough.

  • STEP 3

    Tip the mixture onto a surface and gently bring it together with your hands, then shape into a disc.

  • STEP 4

    Wrap in cling film and chill for at least 20 minutes before using.

RECIPE TIPS
PROPORTIONS

To make more or less, remember the proportions - half fat to flour - and don't add too much water or the pastry will be hard. If other dry ingredients are included in the recipe, add them at the same time as the salt.
