Help please, sweet pastry crumbles

[Halex]

I found this recipe on taste.com


Method
Process 1 1/2 cups (225g) plain flour, 2 tbs icing sugar mixture and 125g butter, chilled and cubed in a food processor until fine crumbs form. Add 2-3 tbs water and process until soft dough forms. Roll into a ball, divide into 6 portions.


I am trying to roll out and it just crumbles.

Any ideas please or another sweet pastry recipe. I have to make custard taets for one very excited boy.

Thought i would give it one last try before heading to the shops.
Now have 4 custard tarts on the go. Pastry makes 6, could get 5 mine are too thick, but just happy to get 4 tarts.

How did they turn out Hally? Mine is great only used it the once but very successful, I have butter chicken for tomorrow night so with the leftovers I am making butter chicken pies

If only we had a camera on you in the kitchen today hally    I think I will be buying all my pastry for my pie maker - it sounds a lot easier

[Yvette]

I agree Judy I bought mine much less stress

[Halex]

DS didnt like the custsrd tarts, i only like shop o nes mummu, sorry. He liked both pastries but not the filling.
