Method

Sift the flour and salt into a bowl and stir in the butter pieces to coat.

Mix the water and lemon juice in a jug and pour into the dry ingredients.

Cut through the mixture with a knife while turning the bowl until a dough forms.

Tip the dough onto a floured surface and shape into a thick rectangular slab.

Roll the dough out into a 38cm x 20cm rectangle.

Fold the dough into thirds and roll out again to the same dimensions.

Rotate the pastry a quarter turn and repeat the rolling and folding process 4 more times.

Wrap the dough in cling film and chill in the fridge for several hours or overnight.

Let the pastry soften slightly at room temperature before rolling it out for use.
