Part of my Kitchen skills series - Shortcrust pastry in minutes!

In this video, I will show you how to make a simple shortcrust pastry which you can use in a number of recipes. I would use this base for a quiche or a lemon tart, for example. You can check my recipe for Tart Au Citron on my website www.fionasfoodforlife.ie/recipes.
