Short crust Pastry

400g Plain Flour
125g unsalted butter
Few drops lemon juice
1 egg yolk
2 tablespoons cold water
1/4 tsp cream of tartar
Pinch salt

For the method I always use food processor so that I do not heat dough with my hands. Put flour cream of tartar salt and diced butter into a food processor and pulse until mixture resembles fine bread crumbs. Add lemon drops yell and water and pulse until dough forms into little balls. Gather everything and give a light knead to form a ball. Wrap in cling film and chill for half an hour before use.
