How to Roll Shortcrust Pastry
How to Roll Shortcrust Pastry
- For best results when rolling out shortcrust pastry use a large, clean dry area of the work surface and lightly dust it with plain flour.
- Place pastry dough on surface and lightly dust it and the rolling pin with flour.
- Roll pastry firmly, always rolling away from you, give the dough 2-3 rolls.
- Then turn the dough a quarter turn.
- Dust again if necessary and continue rolling out, frequently turning the pastry so it is not always rolled in the same direction as this causes shrinkage.
- When the pastry has increased in size, pick it up to turn/ line the tin by rolling it round the rolling pin.
- Lift the pin with the pastry around it carefully and turn it to lay out and continue rolling. Again this is done to prevent the pastry from stretching as you lift it which in turn would result in shrinkage in baking. Shortcrust pastry should be rolled out to approx. 3-5 mm. depth.
Method
- Preheat the oven to 200C/180C (fan)/Gas 6
- Unroll the pastry sheet and line a shallow baking tin, approximately 20cm by 30cm (if using a rectangular tin).
- Line the pastry with foil or greaseproof paper, fill with baking beans and bake for 20 minutes. Remove the paper and beans and return to the oven for 10 minutes, or until the pastry is lightly golden and cooked.
- Heat the olive oil in a sauté pan, add the onions and cook over a medium heat for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Spread the onion marmalade over the bottom of the pastry case, scatter over the onion and arrange the goat’s cheese on top.
- Return to the oven for 8-10 minutes, until the cheese has melted.
Serve warm cut into squares.
Tips
- Take the pastry out of the fridge and remove from the packaging approximately 10 minutes before you are ready to use it, as it will be easier to work with.
- This tart is delicious served warm or cold.
- Why not serve with a fresh salad of sliced tomatoes, rocket, finely sliced fennel and a light dressing!
