    1 Sift dry ingredients into a large, chilled bowl. Add knobs of spread and use fingertips to gently rub spread in until mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs. Form a well in the centre. Add egg then gradually add water. Bring mixture together and shape into a ball. If dough is dry, add extra water.

    2 Knead dough for 3 minutes or until smooth and well combined.

    3 Roll out between 2 sheets baking paper until large enough to suit your requirements. Set aside. This pastry can be chilled for several hours and rolled out when required.
