1. To make the pastry, assemble the food
processor using the S blade.
2. Place flour and butter into the
processing bowl. Place lid on bowl.
3. Process ingredients until mixture
resembles a fine crumble. Add egg and
water and process until mixture just

4. Lightly knead dough by hand until
smooth and shape into a disc. Cover
with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 20
minutes.
5. Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Lightly
grease a 9" (22.5cm x 3cm) loose base
round pie pan.
6. Assemble the processor with the
adjustable slicing disc set to setting 3–4.
Slice leeks.
7. Heat butter and oil in a frying pan over
a medium heat; add leeks and cook,
stirring, until the leeks have softened.
Add the chopped thyme and cook for
another minute. Season with salt and
pepper and set aside.

baking paper large enough to fit the
dish, line pie dish with pastry. Using
