Method

Step 1 of 2

Process flour, sugar and butter together in a food processor until mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs. Add yolk and chilled water. Process until pastry just comes together, adding more water if necessary.

Step 2 of 2

Turn pastry onto a lightly floured surface. Knead gently until smooth. Shape into a 2cm-thick disc. Wrap in baking paper. Refrigerate for 20-30 minutes or until firm enough to roll out. Variation: To make chocolate shortcrust pastry, process 2 tbs premium cocoa powder with flour, sugar and butter, then add 1 egg and chilled water.
