Here’s how to make homemade shortcrust pastry in both its traditional and modern forms. The same ingredients are used as in puff pastry, but the process is much simpler and faster, making it ideal for those short on time. The recipe is as follows.

Ingredients (serves 4-6)

• 300 g flour
• 150 g butter
• 1 pinch of salt
• 100 mls cold water

Procedure

Sieve the flour and the salt onto a flat surface or pasta board. Cut the butter into smaller cubes and add to the flour, incorporating quickly. Then add the ice water little by little, kneading rapidly to form a ball of dough. This must be left in the fridge, wrapped in plastic film for around 1 hour. After an hour, on a floured board, the dough can be rolled out with a rolling pin and used to line a pie dish for the savoury tart.
