Pastry making involves voodoo. My mum and sister both make pastry and have loads of rules eg hand temperature for getting it just right. They look down on me for using the bought stuff but I genuinely can't tell the difference. Pastry definitely falls into the "life's just too short" categoryI think that the key with pastry is patience. Make it the day before, put it in an airtight container and put that in the fridge for a day and it comes out lovely and springy. However most people who know more about cooking than I ever will scoff at the idea and think that this is way too long.
