PERFECT SHORTCRUST PASTRY

Many people tell me they can’t make pastry. I am told so often that results are too ‘hit and miss’, it gets too messy, there isn’t the time and in our fast and furious life it is far easier to buy a block from the supermarket.

I totally get it, and buying a block is fine but before you do and before you read the number of ingredients on the back of the packet (up to 12 in some cases) and become a consumer of another single-use piece of plastic, I urge you to try my two-minute method, which costs less, contains just four ingredients and freezes well. No plastic, preservatives or palm oil, and it tastes much better.

Even if you don’t do this every time, try it and once you are familiar with the ingredients and method I think you will begin to turn your back on the mass-produced version. I always make double the amount below – one now and one for the freezer. I may even line a tart tin with the pastry dough and freeze it, then my next tart is already halfway done.

I call this my ‘shortcut’ pastry and I actually surprised myself when I timed the making, which included weighing out the ingredients. Everything goes into the bowl together, whizz and you’re done! No guess work and it’s failsafe.
