Cut the butter into pieces, wrap in foil and place in the freezer for 30 minutes.
Meanwhile, chill the water in the fridge.

Once chilled, place all the ingredients in the Thermomix bowl and mix for 5 seconds / speed 6.
Turn onto a floured surface (don't worry if you see lots of little pieces of butter) and use your hands to quickly bring it together and shape into a flattened square around 1 inch thick. Wrap in plastic or place in a freezer bag and chill in the fridge for 20 minutes.

Remove the pastry from the fridge and place on a floured surface. Roll it out into a large rectangle.
Now you are going to fold the pastry in thirds, like you would a letter for an envelope. Fold in the right-hand third to the middle, and then the left-hand third over the top. (see photos in article above).
Rotate the pastry 90 degrees and roll it out again. Repeat the folding by thirds. And then roll it out again.
Now, repeat the whole process again. All in, you should have rolled and folded it three times.
Wrap it back in plastic and chill it in the fridge for 20 minutes. It is now ready for using.

Take the pastry from the fridge. This recipe is for two sheets of pastry, so cut in half and return one half to the fridge to keep chilled until needed.
Roll the pastry out on a floured surface to a square measuring approximately 10 inches x 10 inches (25cm x 25cm). This is around the size of a shop-bought pastry sheet.
