Add the corn flour, butter, castor sugar and salt into a large mixing bowl and knead with your hands until the mixture starts clumping and resembles breadcrumbs. You can also cut the butter into the flour in a mixer or a food processor, to ensure that the butter stays chilled - it should take about 20 to 30 pulses of your mixer. Don't overdo it, or your crust will suffer. The colder the butter, the crumblier and flakier the pie crust will be.
