Many British recipes call for shortcrust pastry for a tender and crumbly crust in sweet pies, tarts, or savory quiches. Because it is so easy to make in batches, I make extra to freeze for later use.
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 0.25 cups chilled butter , cut into pieces
- 0.25 cups shortening
- 4 tablespoons ice water , or more as needed

Combine flour, butter, and shortening in a food processor; pulse until crumbly. Mix in water, 1 tablespoon at at time, until dough is soft and pliable.

Wrap dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before using.

Very easy and quick to make!
Lamb Osso Buco Slow-Cooked
There are two tricks to this lamb osso buco recipe: browning the lamb shanks before they go into the slow cooker and reducing the sauce before serving. The result is an osso buco you'd be hard-pressed to distinguish from the labor-intensive classic.
Irish Soda Farls
Farl means four parts in Gaelic and this recipe is the traditional (and quickest) way to make soda bread farls for unexpected guests who drop by for a bit of "craic" (good fun). The soda bread dough is flattened into a round, then cooked on a dry griddle or pan. It's best eaten fresh with butter and jam but is also delicious pan-fried in oil or butter as part of an "Ulster fry."
