    Title: Sweet Pastry
    Categories: British, Pastry
    Yield: 800 Grams

    450 g Plain flour (1 lb)
    150 g Icing sugar (5 oz)
    1 pn Salt
    1 Vanilla pod (optional)
    225 g Unsalted butter (8 oz)
    1 Egg
    1 tb Milk

    Sift the flour, icing sugar and salt together. Split the vanilla pod,
    if using, scrape the seeds and mix into the flour. This is an
    optional extra but it gives a wonderful taste to the pastry for any
    pudding flans.

    Rub in the butter to give a breadcrumb texture. Beat the egg with the
    milk and work into the mix to form a dough. Wrap in cling film and
    leave to rest in the fridge for 20-30 minutes before using.
