(Anonymous) 2013-02-13 01:29 am (UTC)(link)* shortcrust pastry - good for pies (sweet and savoury), pasties and quiches
http://www.helpwithcooking.com/pastry-guide/shortcrust-pastry.html - When you rub the butter into the flour use the tips of your fingers because they're cooler and the warmer the butter gets the harder the pastry is to manipulate.
The Be-Ro recipe book is basically how I learned to bake and a lot of the (easy) recipes are reproduced on this website under the Recipe Inspiration link at the top. Baking Basics on the left of the page has techniques.
http://www.be-ro.co.uk/recipe/showrec.asp?rec=37 - This is a really simple and delicious quiche recipe. Add three or four sliced mushrooms with the bacon!
* cheese sauce - used in macaroni cheese, lasagne, so many pasta bakes or gratins, eggy bread sandwiches (if you make it really thick it's divine), or just as an accompaniment to meat and veg. Understanding a bechamel sauce (cheese sauce before you add the cheese!) makes a lot of soups and stews really simple as well.
http://teriskitchen.com/sauces/cheese-a.html
* bolognese sauce - you'll find a lot of recipes of varying complexity online, but once you find one you like you're sorted. Spaghetti bolognese, stuffed peppers, stuffed potatoes, lasagne, cottage pie (without the tomatoes) are usually all good with the same recipe and are generally pretty easy to do once you know how.
If this is too basic I apologise! If I've mentioned anything you want expanding on, please say so because I love talking about cooking and I do tend to stick to the basics! That said, I'm more about stove-top cooking than baking.

BTW, it doesn't actually matter what kind of plain or self-raising flour you use ;)
