Shortcrust pastry from scratch

Shortcrust pastry from scratch

Everyone should have their go-to recipe for shortcrust pastry from scratch. I know that in today’s world is much easier to buy ready-made pastry. But let’s face it, home-made shortcrust pastry from scratch tastes so much better. Don’t get me wrong, I always have a shop bought pack in the freezer (for emergencies) but if I can I’ll do it from scratch, the savory or the sweet version.The only pastry that I would never try to make at home is puff pastry. I’m sure the homemade version will be much better but I ‘m tired just to think about the trouble it is to make it.

So if you don’t have your own secret recipe or you just want to try another one, here it is, my shortcrust pastry from scratch 🙂
