PERFECT SHORTCRUST PASTRY
A recipe handed down through 4 generations of my maternal family and tweaked a little by me to make the most delicious short, melt in the mouth pastry that you will ever, ever taste!

Steps:
- Weigh out the 1lb self raising flour and remove 3 tablespoons if you are making sweet pastry, 2 tablespoons if you are making savoury. Then add 2 tablespoons of cornflour and 1 tablespoon of icing sugar for sweet pastry and 2 tablespoons of cornflour and the salt for savoury. Place into the food mixer, I have a Kenwood K Mix but any will do the same job although food processors will do the job much quicker and it is easy to overwork the pastry with them, so be careful. You can do it by hand of course.
- Cut the butter and Trex into small cubes and put in the Kenwood with the K beater on to rub the fat into the flour, have on slow speed until it resembles breadcrumbs.
- Add the 1 egg and enough cold water whilst the machine is still running until it starts to come together. Stop the mixer and combine the dough into a ball, wrap it in clingfilm and put in the fridge for at least an hour. Never, ever over handle pastry or add too much water, this will make it tough - it should feel soft and come together with just a little encouragement.
- Roll out with a little flour make your desired recipe and cook at 220 degrees until golden brown. I always put pies on a flat baking sheet preheated with the oven. This pastry will be golden and short and melt in the mouth, almost like shortbread.
THE PERFECT SHORTCRUST PASTRY
I used it to make a tourtière (meat pie). It's from Ricardo. The taste is very good. And it's flaky. I wrote 30 minutes of cooking time but in fact it's the cooling time. For the meat pie, I baked it at 400 F for 50 minutes.

Steps:
- In a food processor, combine the flour and salt. Add the butter and pulse for a few seconds at a time until the butter is the size of peas. Add the water and pulse again until the dough just begins to form. Add water as needed. Remove the dough from the food processor and form two discs.
- Cover in plastic wrap and refrigerate the dough for at least 30 minutes.
- Roll out the dough on a floured work surface or between two sheets of parchment paper in a 3 to 4-mm (1/8-inch) thick sheet. Use the dough to make a 2-crust pie or line two 23 to 25-cm (9 to 10-inch) pie plates.
SHORTCRUST PASTRY
Easy and economical to make for use to make your own pies and tarts. Times given are when using a food processor, if doing by hand add another 5 minutes. Don't include chill time. If you have hot hands would advise using a food processor. You end up with enough for 2 tart cases (9") or for the top and bottom of a 9" pie. If using for a sweet dish add 2 teaspoons sugar after you rub in butter. Use as is for savoury dishes. I have edited this to 8 serves for if used as 2 bottoms or a top and bottom it would equate to 8 serves, giving a truer nutritional panel. Still does not include sugar for sweet pastry. Please note referring to a 250ml metric cup for USA cups + 2 tablespoons.

- In a food processor, combine the flour and salt. Add the butter and pulse for a few seconds at a time until the butter is the size of peas. Add the water, sour cream or yogurt and pulse again until the dough just begins to form. Add water as needed. Remove the dough from the food processor and form two discs.
- In a large bowl, combine the flour and salt. Blend the butter into the flour with a pastry blender or with two knives to get a grainy texture where you can find small pieces of butter the size of peas. Add the water, sour cream or yogurt gradually, lifting and turning the mixture with a spatula to prevent spots from becoming wetter than others. Add water, as needed, a spoonful at a time, just until the mixture holds when pressed between the fingers. Form into two discs.
