Pdfsweet pastry, place 125g of diced, room-temperature salted butter in a bowl with 1 vanilla pod (or 1 teaspoon of vanilla paste), 250g of plain flour and 90g of caster sugar. Run it through your fingers, massaging the butter with the flour and sugar to incorporate. Once you have a breadcrumb-like consistency, make a well in your flour mix and add one whisked egg. Gently bring together, being careful not to overwork your pastry, then remove and place onto a lightly floured surface. Knead three or four times until it comes together into a ball, cover with clingfilm and transfer to the fridge for at least 30 minutes before using. This pastry will keep for up to 7 days in your fridge and 3-6 months in the freezer.
