What I personally feel is making short pastry is easy than baking any other thing. It is very quickly made in food processor but you can also make it by hand.
I have found Sainsbury the best brand. Some of it’s basic things are amazingly good and are available in good prices.I used this sainsbury’s baking block in this recipe and trust me it is cheaper than butter but its taste and texture is amazingly good for pastries. So do try it if you are living in UK.
Make sure to use good quality ingredients for best results.
