Shortcrust Pastry

This is a basic recipe I use for my shortcrust pastry. It's incredibly quick and simple to make and the ingredients can usually be found in most households! I use them mainly as a base for my quiches:


Ingredients

• 200g bakers flour (or plain)
• 100g butter, cubed
• pinch salt
• 50-60g chilled water
