Does anyone here know/have a recipe for royal shortcrust pastry?

I believe it is terribly yummy and includes icing sugar and corn flour among other things....

Any help appreciated.

    I think I made that at school once, but it was called Rose Crust by my cookery teacher. I'd love the recipe too if anyone knows it?!

    I've never heard of this pastry, sorry. When I want to make a sweet, enriched pastry, escpecially for mince pies :DI use one similar to this. It was given to me by MIL and uses icing sugar.
