English Translation

This is my mam's recipe for a classic white pastry simply made with self-raising flour, margarine and cold water to mix.

Ingredients:

250g self-raising flour
90g margarine
cold water, to bind

Method:

Combine the flour and margarine in an earthenware bowl. Mix with your fingers or cut together with a knife until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs then add about 3 tbsp water and mix with a knife. Now add just enough of the cold water to bring the mixture together as a firm dough. Turn onto a floured work surface and roll out large enough to cover the base and top of your pan.

This is a general-purpose pastry for use with both sweet and savoury dishes but it should only be cooked until just golden. Do not allow to bake too dark.
