Hiroko ListonBasic Shortcrust Pastry
I never wanted to bother making pastry from scratch. But I have done it once to find out how easy it is. My shortcrust pastry is very versatile. It can be sweet or savoury. I always use ordinary salted Butter.
Ingredient
125 g
Butter
1/4-1/2 cup
Caster Sugar *for sweet pastry
1 teaspoon
Vanilla Extract *for sweet pastry
2-3 teaspoons
Instant Coffee Granules *good for chocolate tart
Cooking instructions
* Step 1
Food Processor Method:
Place dry ingredients and Butter in a food processor, process until mixture resembles breadcrumbs. Add lightly beaten Egg (OR COLD Water) and process until dough just comes together. Turn out on a lightly floured surface. Knead gently and shape into a disc.
* Step 2
Basic Method:
Place dry ingredients into a large bowl, add Butter and rub in with fingertips until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs. Add lightly beaten Egg (OR COLD Water) and mix to combine. Knead the dough gently on a lightly floured surface and shape into a disc.

Like-Cookie-Dough Method:
Beat softened Butter and Sugar until smooth. Beat in Egg and Vanilla, and mix well. Add Flour and mix to combine, then knead gently and shape into a disc. This is my favourite method for sweet pastry.
