Shortcrust pastry is a buttery, crumbly pastry which is often used as a base for tarts. This is an eggless version.

Ingredients

  • 150g (1/2 cup) unsalted butter, softened
  • 100g (1/2 cup) caster sugar
  • 1 tsp grated lemon rind
  • 120 g (1 cup) plain flour, plus extra for dusting
  • 120 g (3/4 cup) potato flour

Procedure

  1. Cream together butter, sugar, and lemon rind in a bowl.
  2. Sift together the plain and potato flours into a mound.
  3. Make a well in the center of the mound and add the creamed mixture.
  4. Knead lightly until the dough is consistent.
  5. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and chill for 1 hour before use.
