PERFECT PASTRY

Learn how to make rough puff pastry and a basic shortcrust pastry at home with Maxine Clark’s recipes and techniques for success.

BASIC SHORTCRUST PASTRY

This is the classic method for making short and crumbly shortcrust pastry. It is made with half butter and half lard – the butter for colour and flavour and the lard for shortness. If you have cool hands, the hand method is best as it will incorporate more air than in a food processor. If you have hot hands, the food processor is a blessing! The quantities of water added vary according to the humidity of the flour. Always add less than it says – you can always add more if it is dry, but once it is a sticky mess, it could prove disastrous!

ROUGH PUFF PASTRY

This is the quick way to make a good puff pastry. Needless to say, you must work very quickly, and it takes a little practice. Rolling and folding the pastry dough creates layers of pastry and pockets of butter. The cooked pastry will be buttery, puffy and light if made well, and incomparable to store-bought puff pastry. Make a large quantity at one time and freeze the remainder – it is easier to make in bulk and you will always have some on hand! A dash of lemon juice is sometimes added to strengthen the layers of dough.
