Steps:
- Place the flour, salt, and butter in a food processor and whiz or pulse briefly. Add half the beaten egg and continue to whiz. You might add a little more egg, but not too much as the mixture should be just moist enough to come together.
- If making by hand, rub the butter into the flour until it resembles coarse bread crumbs. Then, using your hands, add just enough egg to bring the dough together. With your hands, flatten out the ball of dough, until it is about 3/4-inch thick, and then wrap in plastic wrap, or place in a plastic bag, and leave in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes or, if you are pushed for time, in the freezer for 10 to 15 minutes.
- Variations:
- Sweet shortcrust pastry: In place of the pinch of salt, use 1 tablespoon of icing sugar.
- Sour cream shortcrust pastry: Replace the egg with 2 tablespoons of sour cream or creme fraiche, adding just enough to bring the dough together.
RICH SHORTCRUST PASTRY
A recipe for a rich shortcrust pastry which I found in the November 2005 issue of the Australian magazine 'Table: easy family food for every day of the week'. This pastry is used in my recently posted Onion and Olive Tart Recipe #140798 in which the sugar and vanilla essence are omitted, and can be used - with this adjustment - for any savoury tart; or, exactly as posted, for sweet tarts.

Steps:
- Place the flour with a pinch of salt in a food processor, add the sugar, butter, egg yolk and vanilla and pulse for 30 seconds, or until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs.
- Continue processing until the mixture comes together, adding 1-2 tablespoons iced water (a bit at a time) if necessary.
- Turn the dough out onto a work surface and knead lightly to form a ball, wrap in plastic wrap and chill for 15-20 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 190°C, roll out the dough onto a lightly floured surface.
- Wrap the pastry around a rolling pin, then unroll it carefully over the pan you are going to use for cooking your tart, press it firmly into the pan, trim off any excess and lightly prick the base with a fork.
- Cover the pastry with greaseproof paper and half fill the pan with pastry weights or dried beans and blind bake for 12 minutes, or until the pastry is lightly browned; OR follow the directions given in a particular recipe. This pastry is used in my recently posted Onion and Olive Tart Recipe #140798, where there is NO pre-cooking of the pastry. The pastry is simply chilled before the filling is added.

Steps:
- In a large mixing bowl, sift together the flour and salt.
- Add the butter and cut into flour until the mixture resembles fine bread crumbs.
- (Using a food processor fitted with the dough blade makes the"cutting" process a little easier and faster).

- Form into a ball.
- Wrap in wax paper (preferred) or plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator for 30-45 minutes.
- Assembly: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

- with nonstick cooking spray or grease with shortening.
- Remove pastry from refrigerator.
- Lightly sprinkle work surface with flour.
- Roll out pastry to about 1/8-inch thickness.
- Cut into circles, squares, or any shape and size that you like.
- Use any filling that you want.
- To"join" separate pastry pieces together, moisten the edges with beaten egg and gently crimp the edges together.
- If your dish is to have pastry on the top, brush the top of the pastry with beaten egg.
- Place on prepared baking sheet, muffin tray, etc.
- and bake for 50 minutes or until golden brown on top.
- Pastry freezes extremely well.

- Use your fingertips to rub the butter into the flour until you have a mixture that resembles coarse breadcrumbs with no large lumps of butter remaining.
- Using a table knife, stir in just enough of the cold water to bind the dough together. You should always start with 1-2 tablespoons and add more if absolutely needed (shorter pastry will have a better texture, though can be a bit crumbly to work with).
- Alternatively using a food processor, put the flour, salt and butter in the food processor and pulse until the fat is rubbed into the flour. With the motor running, gradually add the water through the funnel until the dough comes together.
- Wrap the dough in cling film as before and chill for 30 minutes before using. Alternatively, roll out immediately and line the tin, resting the pastry case in the fridge for 30 minutes before baking.
