Wrap the butter in foil and place in the freezer for 30 minutes.

Place the flour in a large bowl and holding the cold butter in the foil so it doesn’t melt, coarsely grate into the flour. Keep dipping the butter into the flour as it will make it easier to grate.

- 150g Plain white flour
- 90g Butter (salted)

Mix into the flour with a palette knife and then add 2 tablespoons of cold water and stir together to form a dough, bringing together with your hands.

Flatten each into circles, slightly smaller than the pastry circles and place in the middle of the pastry discs.
