Instructions
- Rub 50g butter into seasoned flour until it resembles breadcrumbs.
- Cut the remaining butter into cubes and add to bowl. Move lightly around with your hands to distribute the butter cubes evenly through the flour.
- Add lemon juice and most but not all the water and bring together with a palette knife taking care not to mash up the butter. Add remaining water if necessary.
- Turn the mass onto a floured sheet of baking parchment and shape into an oblong. Fold up in thirds to resemble a brick, using the paper to help you. Wrap up and chill in fridge for an hour.
- Remove from fridge. Roll and fold in three again, three more times - four in all.
- Roll out as required or chill in fridge until ready to use.
