If you have a Whizz just put in (never converted) 4 ozs butter, 8 ozs flour, 1 egg yolk and about a couple of tablespoons water.Whizz together until it comes into a ball.Roll out and line your base.Easy really just half fat to flour for any amount.

Pastry also works best cold so put it in the fridge for 20 minutes before using it. Heklps rest the gluten and keeps the fat content from melting and making the pastry fall apart
