Short Pastry

Ingredients

  • 2 cups Edmonds standard flour
  • ΒΌ tsp salt
  • 125g butter
  • Cold water

Method

  1. Sift the flour and salt together. Rub in the butter with your fingertips until it resembles coarse breadcrumbs then mix to a stiff dough with a little water.
  2. Wrap in greaseproof paper and chill for 10 minutes before using. 
  3. Store for 3-4 days in a fridge or 1-2 months in a freezer.
    When freezing, roll out the pastry into thin sheets, freeze on a tray until solid, and then transfer to a large zip lock bag for storage (placing baking paper between the sheets). This method ensures quick and easy defrosting for added convenience. Alternatively, freeze the pastry in a block, allowing extra time for thawing before rolling out as needed.

What should be the oven temperature for this short crust pastry and how long does it take for patties. EDMONDS: For our Mince Pies and Basic Quiche recipes, we have used 200 degrees Celsius . How long the to bake is deferent depending on the recipe.

I love this recipe it is what I use for every tart I make. If you want to make a large tart with a pastry topping of any sort I add an extra half recipe. It's so good and quick

Ali

Best recipe ever! Never fails :)

Eugenia

A little water? How little is a little? A half a cup? A quarter? A table-spoon? A tea-spoon?

EDMONDS: Good question! Try a Tablespoon to start with, if the dough hasn't quite come together, you can add a little more.
