Short crust pastry.....never buy it again.

I tend to make a triple batch and freeze what I do not use.

What you will need:

• 1 2/3 cups (250g) plain flour, chilled
• 125g unsalted butter, chilled
• 1 egg, chilled
• 1 tablespoon water, chilled

Method

1. Process flour, butter and a pinch of salt in a food processor until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs.
2. Whisk egg and chilled water in a bowl until combined.
3. Then with food processor motor running, add to flour mixture.
4. Process until mixture begins to clump together.
5. Turn pastry out on to a work surface and knead gently to bring together. Roll into a large ball and wrap in plastic wrap.
6. Refrigerate overnight or for at least 2 hours.
