 The best sweet pastry in the world Well I think so. I use it especially for mince pies and the like. 8oz butter 2oz icing sugar 6oz plain flour 2oz cornflour vanilla essence icing sugar to decorate Cream the butter until soft and then beat in the icing sugar. Sift the plain and corn flours together and add these to the mix along with a splash of essence until it comes together. If its a bit sticky add a little more flour. Flour a board and roll out but not too thinly and work quickly. Cook at gas mark 4 or 180c or 350f for approx 15 minutes. Leave to completely cool in the tins otherwise THEY WILL FALL APART. Decorate with icing sugar. If any of you guys try it, please let me know what you think.

| Sounds a bit like shortbread too- must be yummy!  I'll certainly be adding it to my 'to do list' as opposed to the other one which is my 'chores' list ! Thanks for that piglet  |

| I usually just use a shortcrust (with plain, not SR flour). Must be more adventurous!
