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.
