Puff Pastry

• 8 oz (225 g) plain flour
• ½ level teaspoon salt</

Sieve the flour and salt into a mixing basin. Beat down the vegetable fat on a small plate, then add to the flour mixture and rub in. Make a well in the centre and add the liquid all at once. Using a fork, mix quickly to a rough dough. Turn out on to a lightly floured working surface and knead lightly. Place the dough in a polythene bag and put in a cool place to rest for at least 30 minutes.</
