  • The best method for rolling out this pastry that I have found is to cover your bench with a couple of sections of clingfilm, and to place a layer of clingfilm over the pastry as you roll it out. Another method would be to place the pastry in a large freezer-bag and roll it out in the bag. This way you can cut the sides and bottom of the bag and lay your pastry over you pie dish with ease. The pastry tends to stick to surfaces and rolling pins without using clingfilm/freezer bags.

  • Prepare a round of baking paper to place in your pastry lined dish to blind bake with beans in a moderate oven for about 20 minutes.
  • This pastry is very forgiving if torn and can be lightly moulded back together if broken in the dish (before baking, of course!)
  • Once I added linseeds to the pastry (about 1/2 cup) and the nutty flavour came through so beautifully.
  • Will easily bake off in smaller party-sized pastry cup if blind-baked in a muffin tin.
