Put the flour, salt and cold cubed butter in a bowl.

Add the ice cold water and the lemon juice.

Mix to a dough with a fork or palette knife.

The dough should have lumps of butter in it.

Roll the pastry on a floured board. Bang rolling works best instead of a smooth roll.

Stop when the pastry is a rectangle.

Bring the two ends to the centre.

Fold in half.

Turn 1/4 and repeat steps 5 to 8.

Cling film and put in the fridge. Leave for 20 minutes. Roll and fold pastry one more time before use.
