Basic Short Pastry

1. 1

   Place the flour, salt, and butter in a food processor.

2. 2

   Blitz until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs, about 10 seconds.

3. 3

   Tip into a mixing bowl.

4. 4

   Add 4 tablespoons of water and stir with a table knife until the dough just comes together.

5. 5

   If it seems too dry, add 1-2 tablespoons more water.

6. 6

   (Try not to make the dough too wet, because this results in a crumbly pastry.)

7. 7

   Lightly knead the dough into a smooth ball, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before using.
