Short Cut Flaky Pastry

Very nice pastry, and most of all - so incredibly easy if you use a kitchen machine. I normally don't, I had one bad experience where the kitchen machine didn't work at all so I usually make my pastry by hand. But as in this case the frozen butter had to be grated, I thought I'd try it with the kitchen machine and it was so easy. It was also easy to roll out and tasted very nice.

Used for the Smoked Salmon, Prawn and Herb Pies
