Preparación

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 200C (180C fan, 400F).

2. 2

   Put the plain flour and cubed butter in a mixing bowl. Rub them together to form a coarse crumb.

3. 3

   Add the egg. Cut through with a knife to combine.

4. 4

   Add 1-2 tbsp of water, cutting through with the knife until the mixture starts to clump.

5. 5

   Knead the pastry into a dough.

6. 6

   Place the pastry on a floured surface and roll out to about 5mm thick.

7. 7

   Cut out 12 rounds. You may need to gather up the offcuts and re-roll.

8. 8

   Place the rounds on your 12-hole muffin tray.

9. 9

   Press the rounds into the tray. Use your thumb to push the edges up to the top of the holes and ensure there’s no air stuck under the pastry. It's a good idea to pop the whole tray in the refrigerator for 10 minutes to chill, if you have time. This will help ensure your cases don't shrink during baking.
