Shortcrust pastry
by bszabo
Shortcrust pastry is a type of pastry often used for the base of a tart or pie. It does not puff up during baking because it usually contains no leavening agent. It is possible to make shortcrust pastry with self-raising flour, however. Shortcrust pastry can be used to make both sweet and savory pies such as apple pie, quiche, lemon meringue or chicken pie.
INSTRUCTIONS
Sift flour and salt.
Cut margerine and lard into cubes, rub together or use a mixer, until it looks like fine breadcrumbs.
Add a little water, as you mix it together, until you have a firm dough.
Wrap in cling film and rest in fridge for 15 mins.
NOTES
It is important that the pastry is cold before you use it.
