PASTRY, SCONE
DOUGH
Place flour and chilled, cubed butter into the food processor bowl. Process
using PULSE button or low-range speed until butter is absorbed by the
flour. With motor running add liquid though the food chute and process
until mixture forms a ball. It may be necessary to scrape the sides of
the bowl using the spatula to ensure more even processing. Do not over
process.
BISCUIT DOUGH Place softened butter and sugar into the food processor bowl Process
using high-range speed until mixture is lightly creamed. With the motor
running, add eggs one at a time down the food chute, mixing well after
each addition. Place dry ingredients into the food processor bowl and
use the PULSE button until ingredients are just combined. If necessary,
scrape the sides of the bowl using the spatula to ensure more even
processing. Add dried fruit, nuts, etc. through the food chute and use
the PULSE button until the additions are folded through evenly. Mixture
should form a dough ball. Do not over process.

SLICING, SHREDDING, GRATING AND CHIPPING WITH THE PROCESSING DISCS
Round fruit and vegetables
For small fruit and vegetables (e.g. kiwi fruit, Roma tomatoes), trim one end so the food sits
flat in the food chute. For large fruit and vegetables (e.g. apples), cut in half or quarter to fit
food chute. Pack into the food chute with cut side facing disc.
Long fruit and vegetables
Cut the food to fit the length of the food chute (no more than 10cm). If food fits without
needing to cut it, trim one end so that it sits flat in food chute. Pack food vertically into the
food chute with cut side facing disc.
