How to Make Quick and Easy Flaky Pastry

INGREDIENTS

• 3/4 cup of butter 
• 1 3/4 cup of  Plain / All-purpose flour -sieved
• pinch of salt
• 1/4-1/2 cup or 100 ml of cold water
• 2 tablespoons sugar if making a sweet dish.

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Mix the sieved flour and salt & Sugar in a bowl. 

2. Weigh out the butter and divide into 4 amounts.

3. Add one portion of the butter to the flour and incorporate the butter and flour, slowly add enough cold water until the mixture comes together to form an elastic dough

4. Dust the rolling surface with flour, and turn the dough out. Roll out the dough into a rectangle shape and keep rolling, adding more flour if necessary to stop from sticking, until the dough is about 4 mm thick.

5. Rub any excess flour from the surface and using the next portion of butter, dot the butter on two-thirds of the rolled out pastry evenly.

6. Press together pastry edges with your fingers, give the pastry half a turn and roll out again until the pastry is 4 mm thick.

7. Before placing the pastry in the oven, brush the top with milk and not the sides as this will prevent the pastry from rising. Then sprinkle some sugar, spices such as cinnamon

8. Cooking times will vary depending on what you are using the pastry for. Take 8-10 minutes for something small, 20-35 minutes for larger pies, until the pastry takes on a nice golden brown color.

The world is filled with savoury delicacies, but more often than not most people prefer to stick to what they know. Honestly, do you really want the same food you eat all the time back home? Cheeseburgers, pizza and fried chicken can be found everywhere, but what about trying something different?
