Simple short crust pastry for sweet pastries is very easy to make: 2 cups flour, 1 cup butter, 1/2 cup sugar (or less if you prefer less sweet). Mix well together and roll out or, easier still - press into the bottom of a baking paper lined pan.

As for puff pastry (Blaetterteig), it's hell to make, so it's best to get it from Denner (they have a decent one which I prefer to those from Migros or Coop).

Thanks - but then I will have to know which is plain flour On the similar topic what's strong bread flour???? I can buy the reach mixed stuff for my bread maker but want to do some bread from scratch, but not sure which is the strong bread flour.

This is all my own fault for being at home and thinking it would lovely to do all these things now I have the time (Cracked jam making though )
