Making Pastry in a food processor

[Recipes4us]

Thanks for your kind comments. No - not a teacher - just someone who has come across many badly written/explained recipes so I try to be as clear and straightforward as possible. There again, my 82 year old father says I'm the only person who can explain computer technology to him so he can understand it. Maybe I just have a very simple mind!

nice explanation in clear steps... just at a guess, are you a teacher by trade?.. your steps were well thought out and well explained :)

I believe the lard makes the pastry flakier. (like some people I know). {-; Butter is for flavour; lard is for texture.

ps...maybe vegetable fat is added because it's lower in saturated fat and cholesterol than butter

great video, thanks!

thank you so much for this video.a quick question, why do some recipes call for half butter half vedgtable fat?

I can only imagine it's to do with costs. You could use all vegetable fat if you wish.
