Cooking Instructions
- 1
Sift flour with salt into a large mixing bowl.
- 2
Drop the margarine into the flour and cut into small pieces.
- 3
Using finger tips, rub the margarine into the flour until the mixture looks like fine breadcrumbs.
- 4
Measure in most of the water and mix with a rough ended knife. When pastry begins to hold together finish mixing with 2 fingers and a thumb to get the ‘feel’ of the pastry to find if it needs the rest of the water. Draw it together into a firm ball.
- 5
Knead pastry until smooth and evenly mixed.
- 6
Leave pastry to rest for around 20-30 minutes.
- 7
On a lightly floured surface, with a floured rolling pin press pastry to the shape required and roll with short, light movements of the rolling pin.
- 8
Turn pastry, not the rolling pin, to alter the shape so that equal pressure is exerted on each end of the rolling pin.

Basic Shortcrust Pastry Basic Shortcrust Pastry
This is the basic shortcrust pastry that I've been making for a long time. I've been using a food processor to make this recently, and it's become much easier and convenient to make.When you make it, be quick with your hands. If the dough is too sticky, as you go through the recipe steps, chill the dough in the refrigerator from time to time. (This a layered dough so if the butter melts, it won't have that light crispy texture.) If you use unsalted butter, add 1/4 teaspoon of salt to the mixture. Recipe by Yukiline cookpad.japan -
Easy Shortcrust Pastry Easy Shortcrust Pastry
I thought up this recipe so I could have easy and quick pastry dough whenever I need it.Just lift and press down with the whisk and spatula during Step 2 and 3. Do not knead the dough.If you are in a rush, let the dough sit in the fridge for 1 hour and in the freezer for 30 minutes.You can keep this dough for 1 week in the fridge and for 1 month in the freezer. It comes in handy if you make it in advance when you have time. Recipe by Cyikwupyi cookpad.japan -

3 Minute American-style Pie Crust 3 Minute American-style Pie Crust
This is an old recipe from an American cookbook that I had when I was a child. Once I became an adult and made this recipe again, I wondered why the heck I was making pie crusts that required layering and folding. So I threw that out and now I always use this recipe when making quiche or apple pie or anything.Since you can make this so quickly, you can pop it in the oven before dinner and then there will be a wonderful scent after dinner and you'll be able to enjoy dessert right away.The small amount of vinegar is really important. Don't worry about the smell! You won't be able to tell at all. Thank you to everyone who has made this recipe! When adding the water to the powdered ingredients, stop adding once there is still some powder left in the mixture. Doing so will prevent the batter from becoming too watery.
