Thing to remember is have every thing as cold as possible & add less ice cold water than you think as the blades heat up the fat.Truth always poses doubts & questions. Only lies are 100% believable, because they don't need to justify reality. - Carlos Ruiz Zafon, The Labyrinth of the Spirits0

What attachment do you use - dough hook, beater or whiskI make my pastry in a food processor.... I always do shortcrust.... I put the flour in with a pinch of salt, then the fat cut into chunks & process it together for the minimum amount of time to get it to the breadcrumb stage.0 -

Well my food processor made pastry always gets compliments - even my MIL says its very good! I use a very basic food processor and the bero recipe:
8 oz plain floor
2 oz margerine
2 oz lard
2 tbsp cold water
I chuck it all in and whizz it until it forms a ball then roll it out. Anyone who thinks they cant make pastry should try this.0
