I always suggest that you make the pastry by hand when you first learn to do it, as this helps you get the feel of it and know how to handle it.
You can make it in a food mixer, of course, and this is always a quick and easy way to make pastry without the hard work.
However, a food mixer is not necessary, so if you don't own one, don't rush out to purchase one.
You can always make a larger batch of pastry and freeze some of it for another day, or if you have any leftover, pop that in the freezer to reuse when you need some. It's always great to have some on hand, especially if you have made it at home.
You can make the pastry yourself or if you want an easy option, you can buy the crust/cases ready-made. However, it really is easy to make your own with a little practice and a little know-how!
Just take a look at the pastry recipes and try them for yourself. For this one, you will need the sweet shortcrust pastry, it will give you the most melt-in-the-mouth pastry experience ever!
Once you have made your pastry, you will also need to know how to make a pastry shell, and all you need to do is follow the instructions on the post I have given you above. It may seem a little daunting if you have never made pastry before or indeed this type of French pastry, but it really is worth the time to get to know how to make it; the knowledge will be yours forever!

Notes
