I was never very good at making anything that involved pastry until a friend gave me this recipe. It is so simple - even dummies like me make successful pastry now! Don't worry about the melting butter and sugar part - it really does work!

2 8 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

3 tablespoons butter or margarine
3 tablespoons sugar, omit sugar and just use 1-2 pinches of salt if making savory pastry
1 egg, beaten
2 tablespoons milk
2 cups self raising flour

Directions

1
Melt butter and sugar (or salt) stirring to make sure sugar dissolves. If you want for savory recipe just leave out sugar and add a pinch or 2 of salt.
2
Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.
3
Add beaten egg, milk and flour and mix well but not overmixing.
4
Place in fridge for 30 minutes.
5
