Short Crust Pastry
Ingredients
8 oz flour
Good pinch salt
4 oz shortening, butter or margarine *
About 2 tablespoons cold water to mix
Method
1. Sieve flour and salt and rub in fat until mixture looks like fine breadcrumbs. Using first a knife and then the fingertips to feel the pastry.
2. Gradually add enough cold water to make the dough into a rolling consistency.
3. Lightly flour the rolling pin and pastry board.
4. If a great deal of flour is necessary to roll out the pastry then you have undoubtedly made it too wet. Roll pastry to required thickness and shape, lifting and turning it to keep it light.
5. Exact cooking times for pastry are given in the recipes but as a general rule it should be baked in a hot oven 425-450°F, 220-230°C, Gas Mark 6 – 7.
* There are many fats and combination of fats which give a first class short crust pastry.
Choose between: Whipped-up cooking fat – use Margarine – for best results use a table margarine, a superfine or soft margarine.
Butter or perhaps the favorite of all, 2 oz margarine and 2 oz cooking fat.
