Shortcrust Pastry

If you have a food processor you can make this in a matter of minutes add all the dry ingredients then blitz the with butter til it looks like breadcrumbs then add egg yolks and add enough water for the pastry to come together.

225g Flour
150g Butter (cold from the fridge)
1-2 egg yolk
1/2 tsp salt for savoury or 25g caster sugar for sweet pastry

1. Sift flour into a bowl. Just using the tips of your fingers rub the butter into the flour until it looks like breadcrumbs and stir in the salt or sugar.

2. Add enough yolks and a little cold water to bind it together.

3. Wrap in cling film and chill for 30 mins.
