Recipe for Short crust Pastry
Ingredients
- 4 cups all purpose flour (568 gm)
- 1½ tsp salt (8ml)
- 1¼ cups margarine or butter (310 gm)
- 8 -10 tbsp cold water (120-150ml)
Cooking Directions
Cut fat into flour and salt mixture, then add enough cold water to combine.
Amount will vary due to humidity, etc
Knead very gently on a lightly floured surface, just enough to combine, and chill for at least 30 minutes before using.
For best results brush pie with a mix of one egg yolk and 1/2 cup milk to glaze.
