Profile: Shortcrust

Your personal background.
Crafting the perfect shortcrust pastry involves a mix of knowledge and intuition. It's about finding the right proportions and handling the dough gently. Start by mixing cold, cubed butter with all-purpose flour and a dash of salt. With your fingers, lightly mix the ingredients until it looks like fine breadcrumbs. Then, add ice-cold water gradually, stirring until the dough starts to come together. Be careful not to overmix the dough as it can keep gluten from developing, so that it remains deliciously flaky.
