   Put flour into bowl & rub butter/margarine into it. Add half of the water and stir to combine.

2. 2

   Add the remaining water slowly, stirring until all of the flour is hydrated. Knead for approximately 3 minutes (be careful, the dough may be hot from the water). The dough will spring back slightly when pressed & may be slightly sticky.
