Are you wanting short or flakey. Flakey: 2 cups high grade plain flour 1/4 tsp salt 200gms butter 6 Tbsps (approx) cold water
Short is 2 cups high grade flour 1/4tsp salt 125gms butter cold water Makes 375gms -400gms. If you want a lighter fat option perhaps replace the butter with a low cal marg, or lite substitute. The pastry will be firmer though. Always use the butter really cold and I use iced water. Hope this helps.
