1.For the pastry, place the Jatz in a food processor and whiz until finely chopped. Place in a bowl with flour and 1 tsp salt flakes and stir to combine. Add the butter and toss to coat. Using your fingers, roughly rub in butter, leaving some big pieces of butter. Combine vinegar and 1/3 cup (80ml) iced water in a jug. Add to flour mixture, stirring to combine. Turn out onto a clean work surface and gently knead until the dough comes together. Enclose in plastic wrap and chill for 2 hours.
