Brilliant pastry ….I leave it overnight its eady to work with .
Miriam is a bit of a cutie, and no mistake!
I have no food processor can i use hands instead?
It is so easy to see she works for the BBC, she leaves a load in the mixer, and another load on the work surface.
1. mix flour and butter to get breadcrumbs
2. then put in any salt / sugar (optional)
3. add milk / water / egg yolk until it 'clumps'
4. shape it into a disc with your hands
5. cover and leave for at least 30 mins
Disgusting fatty butter
What is purpose of corn flour
thanks for being straight to the point😇
Cheers that was really helpful. No faffin around straight to the point.😎
And she mentioned "food processor" I move on. I don't have the money for one.😓
Too dry. The golden ratio is 1tbsp liquid per 2oz of flour.
This recipe has nearly 9oz of flour and needs 4 tbsbs liquid.
Brilliant !
This recipe is not quite right. I needed at least 3 tablespoons of water, otherwise once the dough is chilled then brought back to room temp it just crumbles into pieces!
I always use this recipe
This recipe needs an egg, it crumbles too easy
In cups please
Yea she could have been more tidy and less wasteful
I wanted to make sausage rolls but I needed to know how to make the pastry first, thanks 😊
quality video. will be using this for my attempt.
Can you tell me what the difference is using milk v water?
Looks so easy, hope it works for me. I shall try it.
