Rough Puff Pastry

8 ounces Five Roses flour 6 ounces butter ½ teaspoon lemon juice Pinch of salt Cold water.

Chop the butter in the flour, not too fine, leaving it in pieces the size of a walnut. Make a pit in the centre, put in the lemon juice, sprinkle salt over. Mix rather more than a tablespoon of water slowly and lightly into the flour and butter, adding more water if necessary till it is a stiff paste. Roll out in long strips and fold in three, turning rough edges to right hand. Repeat this until it has been rolled four times.
