2. To make the pastry, mix the flour and salt together in a bowls. Gradually add enough water to form a dough.

4. Turn the folded dough through 90 degrees and roll it out into a rectangle again. Repeat the process of adding the remaining frozen butter and lard and fold as before. Roll out and repeat 2 more turns with the dough to create the layers in the pastry.
5. Wrap the dough in cling film and leave to rest in the fridge for 30 minutes before using.
6. Take the chilled pastry from the fridge and roll out onto a lightly floured surface. Roll into a rectangle approximately 25cm x 35cm.

8. Fold the pastry in half to cover the filling. Press the edges to seal. Brush the top with beaten egg and score a pattern on the top with a knife. Place on a baking tray and bake for 30 -35 minutes until the pastry is crisp and a rich golden brown colour.
