It’s not hard to make a good shortcrust pastry.
All you need to do is place 1 cup of plain flour and a pinch of salt and a pinch of baking powder in a food processor along with 60gm of chilled and cubed butter .
Now using the pulse button rapidly , turning the processor on and off nail the butter and flour resembles course breadcrumbs .
In a small bowl beat 1 egg lightly and mix 1 tbs of water and a squeeze of lemon juice together .
Turn the processor back on and our the liquid mix through the feed tube of the processor .
Stop pouring the mixture in as soon as it forms a ball of dough around the blade .
Wrap the pastry in cling film and chill for 1 hour, before rolling out and shaping .
Chill again for 20 minutes before baking ...It always works .
