For some bizarre reason, I got it into my head last week to make shortcrust pastry from scratch, even though I had to be at uni 30 minutes later. I remembered the cookbook that came with my Kenwood food processor had a recipe in it and it was actually even easier than I expected, despite the fact that we (at that stage) did not own a rolling pin –
A half empty wine bottle works just as well, in case you were wondering 😉

It tasted as good as it looks. Jas and Kris, your food shots are getting so good they are coming close to food porn :o)
short crust pastry is something I’ve always left to the professionals in the freezer section… but with these tips and all the masterchef I’ve been watching lately, I’m going to have to give it a try. And how easy does a food processor make things in the kitchen! Definitely one of my top appliances! Hope you’re having a lovely weekend,
