From doing the research above I have found out that..... *Cold butter will be the best butter for making my shortcrust pastry because it will give the pastry a crumbly and tender texture as it coats the gluten and prevents long chains of gluten forming. *Lemon will, if added to my pastry break down the gluten which will give the pastry a more tender texture. *Making the pastry by hand will mean the pastry will have the best texture out of the other methods because there is less chance of over working the dough and developing the gluten strands which would give it a more leathery texture.
