Modern Redaction

Ingredients:

700g fine plain flour
350g butter
4 egg yolks lightly beaten
5 tbsp ice-cold water (usually optional, but have to hand)
1 tsp salt (if using unsalted butter)


Method:

This is a very fine Medieval/Elizabethan pastry recipe. As the flower is very fine this would only have been used for the very best tables. A this page gives a more general pastry recipe.

Preparation

Combine the flour and salt (if used) in a large bowl. Add the butter and cut into the flour with a pair of pastry knives. Then use your fingers to rub the butter into the flour until it resembles fine crumbs. Add the egg yolks at this stage and knead into the pastry. Add a the water a little at a time if the dough is to dry. The pastry is done when it forms a solid ball and does not stick to the sides of the bowl. Cover in clingfilm and refrigerate for fifteen minutes before use.

If making sweet pastry for a dessert add an extra 20g of flour and 4 tbsp of honey to the mixture.
