Method

1. Mix the flour, salt and baking powder together. Cut the butter into 1-2cm-thick cubes. Bit by bit, add them to the flour. Coat the butter in flour as you add them. Rub the butter into the flour till it’s almost at the breadcrumb-like consistency stage. Leave some lumps of butter less rubbed in.
2. Add enough water to bring it together into a soft, silky (not sticky) dough. Use very cold water so the butter doesn't melt.
3. On a floured surface, pat the dough into a rectangle. Roll out until 1-2cm thick.
4. Fold in the sides like you're folding a letter. Rotate the rectangle 90°. Roll out again. Repeat this five times, ending with a letter-folded piece of dough.
5. Wrap up in a clean tea towel. Refrigerate for 30 mins before rolling out to use, or freeze it for up to a month.
