Serves makes 600g

Difficulty Easy

Prep Time 40 minutes

Ingredients

250 ml cream, naturally soured (leave it out of the fridge for 2 days)
250 ml soft butter
500 ml cake flour
1 ml salt
15 ml caster sugar

Method

Combine the cream and soft butter in a large, wide bowl. Refrigerate to firm.
Sift together the flour, salt and caster sugar. Add the flour mixture to the bowl containing the chilled butter mixture.
Cut the two mixtures together with a knife until the mixture resembles even-sized breadcrumbs.
Press together into a ball, wrap in plastic wrap and chill for at least 20 minutes.
Cut the pastry in half, work with one half at a time and store the other half in the fridge as the pastry can be quite tricky to work with in hot weather.
Roll into a rectangle, fold in three, quarter turn and fold again.
