CHILL YOUR BUTTER
Use butter straight from the fridge andcold water to keep the pastry mix coolwhile you work.
ROLL WITH IT
Shortcrust pastry freezes moresuccessfully when it has been rolled outor shaped as required, either baked orunbaked, rather than as a lump of dough.
RICE IS NICE
If you don’t have baking beans, useuncooked rice or pasta, then keep themto use each time.
