Como fazer Shortcrust Pastry

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large bowl, sift together 250g plain flour, 2 tsp baking powder, and a pinch of salt.
Cut in 125g cold unsalted butter using a pastry blender or your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. (If using a food processor, pulse until just combined).
For sweet pastry, stir in 2 tsp granulated sugar.
Gradually add 100-125ml ice water, mixing until the dough just comes together. If using a food processor, add the water gradually while pulsing until the dough forms a ball.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently form into a disc.
Wrap the dough in cling film and chill for at least 30 minutes before rolling out and baking.
Roll out the dough to your desired thickness and use to line your pie or tart tin.
Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until lightly golden brown.
Let cool completely before filling.
