Step 1

For the dough weigh you been 50% fat to flour. The fat consists of 50% butter and 50% cheese. I used 200g flour 50g butter 50g strong cheddar cheese. This makes a lot more dough that needed

Step 2

Dice the butter and cheese to make small cubes (try not to handle the butter to much as you do not want to melt it) Put the flour cheese and butter on a cold kitchen work top ready to mix together

Step 3

Using dough scrapers start to mix the ingredients cutting into it and turning it over until it is like bread crumbs

Step 4

Make a well in the middle of the flour mix and add a little milk. Use the dough scrapers to mix in the milk

Step 5

Rinse your hands with cold water (you do not want warm hands)

Now you can bring everything together using the dough scrapers and finally finning with your fingers Wrap the dough in cling film and put in the fridge for 30 minutes
