Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

I like that. What happened to all the "spare" cake? ;)

Butter-rich pastry was a new thing. Difficult to work with (either too hard or too sticky) and not significantly nicer tasting. I’m going back to sweetened shortcrust pastry for the next batch.

How much butter is "rich" ? I remember trying a shortcrust pastry once which was something like 8oz flour to 5oz butter, and bound with egg yolk for good measure. It was an absolute nightmare to work with.

My favourite pate brisee is 250g flour, 150g butter, 1 egg, tbs of milk. Is that butter rich?

Yes, similar. 200g flour, 150g butter, 2 eggs (although I only used approx 1½ eggs and the rest to glaze).

I think I’ll try yours next time jacdaw.

Butter rich compared to ordinary shortcrust, which would be half fat to flour.
