Rich Shortcrust Pastry

This is a quick and simple recipe for a light and tasty pastry. It is great for savoury flans and tarts and literally takes just minutes to make. If you prefer, replace the plain flour with spelt flour, which is easier to digest. One of the oldest cultivated grains in the world, spelt is becoming more widely available. It has a naturally higher composition of vitamins, and requires a special processing method, so is more expensive than regular flour.
