Shortcrust Pastry

125 g butter, cut into cubes
1-1/2 cups flour
pinch of salt
2 tablespoons iced water

Rub the butter into the flour with the tips of your fingers, and add a little salt. Work the mixture until it resembles coarse breadcrumbs (or use a food processor).

Add the iced water and mix until a dough forms. Shape the dough into a ball, wrap in plastic film and refrigerate for 1 hour before rolling out.
