Shortcrust Pastry

Shortcrust Pastry

Shortcrust pastry is very versatile and can be used for all types of savoury and sweet pies. Using lard gives a lovely crisp pastry and is also very economical at around a quarter of the price of butter.  Don't overwork the dough. Light, cold fingers are supposed to make the best short crust pastry.
