PASTRY
You can always make a few batches of pastry at once and freeze any
extra (wrapped in cling lm) until needed. Shop bought fresh and frozen
Shortcrust or Puff pastry work perfectly well with the Gourmet Gadgetry
Pie Maker, however if you would prefer to use homemade pastry we have
supplied a great recipe for Shortcrust below.
Shortcrust Pastry Recipe
Ingredients:
200g plain our
100g unsalted butter (cubed)
A pinch of salt
2-4 tablespoons of cold water
Preparation Method:
1. Sift the our and salt into a large mixing bowl.
2. Add the cubes of butter to the bowl, then using your ngers rub them in until
the mixture resembles coarse breadcrumbs with no large lumps of butter re-
maining.
3. Making a well in the mix, add 2 tablespoons of the cold water, mixing with a
knife until you have rm rough dough. Only add the extra water if needed.
4. Cover your pastry with cling lm and chill in the fridge for 20 minutes before
using.
5. Once your pastry is ready, sprinkle a little our over your work surface and roll
the pasty out with a rolling pin. You will need about 150g of pastry per pie,
depending on how thick you like it to be. Using the pastry cutter cut the pastry
tops and bases ready to be used in the machine.
