Looking for a good quality frozen shortcrust pastry.......any recommends?

[Silkflowersanne]

I love cooking but I just cant get fresh pastry right apart from the mess! I am struggling to find a frozen brand that I like, has anyone found one that they think is really good? Up to now I've tried Sainsburys and Jusrol and I found them both a bit tasteless.

Apparently Waitrose stock a really good one but its expensive about £4 I think. have never tried it but chefs use it I think.

My life with pastry transformed when I saw the Hairy Bakers do it in a food processor. Have made loads since.Shove it all in, press a button. No mess, no tears.

How can it go wrong? I do mine in my lovely (1970s) Kenwood chef and it comes out lovely and takes about 3 minutes! I've tried frozen puff pastry and it wasn't very nice.

Have you treid the grating frozen butter into the flour method of making it?Very very very easy.

Also, Delia's recipe is spot on.

I use the jusrol fresh pastry when I am cheating, and sprinkling a little salt over it once it is rolled out stops it being so tasteless.

frozen butter method This is for flaky pastry but I use the same method for shortcrust, just changing the quantities so I have half butter to flour.

I have tried that grated frozen butter method twice and it just didn't work ,ruined my mince pies I did!

Don't know where I went wrong.
